✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza, Trapiche's Sauvignon Blanc showcases the winery's ability to coax vibrant freshness from the Andean foothills. While Mendoza is globally renowned for its robust reds, Trapiche was a pioneer in exploring the region's diverse microclimates for white varietals. This wine is crafted to capture the pure, unadulterated essence of the grape, utilizing temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation to preserve its lively aromatics. The meltwater from the snow-capped Andes irrigates the vines, while the intense high-altitude sunlight and cool night breezes yield a wine bursting with citrus, green apple, and herbaceous notes, reflecting a unique expression of Argentine terroir.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1883 by Tiburcio Benegas, Bodega Trapiche stands as one of the historic pillars of Argentine viticulture. Located in Coquimbito, Maipú, within a meticulously restored 1912 Florentine-style bodega, the estate balances immense production scale with nuanced terroir exploration. Under the ownership of Grupo Peñaflor and winemaking direction of Sergio Casé, Trapiche orchestrates fruit from over 1,000 hectares of estate vineyards alongside long-term grower partnerships. Holdings span high-altitude alluvial terraces in the Uco Valley, classic Primera Zona terroirs, and pioneering cool-climate oceanic sites in Chapadmalal on the Atlantic coast. Viticulture emphasizes environmental sustainability, complemented by certified biodynamic estate parcels. In the cellar, gentle extraction and refined oak aging define benchmark expressions like the iconic Iscay blend, the single-vineyard Terroir Series Malbecs, and the maritime Costa & Pampa line, showcasing the dynamic breadth of contemporary Argentina.
