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.

Founded in 1883 by Tiburcio Benegas, Trapiche is one of Argentina's oldest and most pioneering wineries, located in the Maipú department of Mendoza. Operating from a historic, beautifully restored Florentine-style winery built in 1912, the estate is celebrated for introducing French grape varieties and modern viticultural techniques to the region. Under the guidance of renowned winemakers, Trapiche focuses on expressing the diverse terroirs of Mendoza—ranging from high-altitude Andean vineyards to their pioneering coastal estate in Chapadmalal, Buenos Aires. The winery is globally acclaimed for its exceptional Malbecs, particularly its Single Vineyard series, as well as elegant expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir.
