✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Terroir Series Finca Laborde Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterclass in Argentine viticulture, proving that Mendoza's high-altitude terroirs can yield Cabernet Sauvignon of breathtaking complexity and structure. Sourced from the historic Finca Laborde in La Consulta, Uco Valley, this single-vineyard bottling pays homage to the Laborde family, who planted these ungrafted vines back in 1974. Grown in sandy loam soils at nearly 1,000 meters above sea level, the grapes benefit from intense alpine sunlight and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts. This unique microclimate preserves natural acidity while developing deep, concentrated flavors. Traditionally fermented and aged for around 18 months in French oak barrels, the resulting wine is a sophisticated expression of the varietal, characterized by dark currant fruit, subtle eucalyptus, cedar, and a savory, mineral-driven backbone that reflects its unique Andean origin.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Bodega Trapiche blev grundlagt i 1883 af Tiburcio Benegas og hører til blandt Argentinas ældste, mest ansete og internationalt anerkendte vinproducenter med base i Maipú, Mendoza. Vingården holder til i et historisk vineri i florentinsk stil for foden af Andesbjergene, hvor over et århundredes vindyrkningstradition forenes med nyskabende innovation og biodynamiske metoder. Trapiche er berømt som en sand pioner for argentinsk Malbec og samarbejder med dedikerede vinbønder i de bedste mikroklimaer for at skabe terroirdrevne Single Vineyard-aftapninger, alsidige Oak Cask-varianter samt elegante hvidvine og mousserende vine, der alle hylder Mendozas mangeartede terroirs.
