✨ Technical Specifications
The Terroir Series represents Trapiche's ultimate quest to showcase the diverse microclimates of Mendoza by celebrating individual grape growers. Finca el Milagro, located in the prestigious La Consulta sub-region of the Uco Valley, sits at an impressive altitude of over 1,100 meters above sea level. This 'Miracle Vineyard' thrives under the watchful eye of dedicated growers, where extreme diurnal temperature swings and poor, stony soils with calcium carbonate deposits force the old Malbec vines to dig deep. The resulting wine is a masterclass in Uco Valley terroir, combining intense solar concentration with a vibrant, chalky minerality. Traditionally aged for 18 months in new French oak, it delivers a complex profile of dark plums, violets, and graphite, wrapped in velvety, structured tannins.
