✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the high-altitude heights of Gualtallary in the Uco Valley, Trapiche's Terroir Series 'Finca El Tomillo' Chardonnay is a masterclass in mountain viticulture. The vineyard sits at an impressive 1,250 meters above sea level, where intense solar radiation is balanced by cool alpine nights. The vineyard gets its name, 'El Tomillo,' from the wild thyme bushes that carpet the surrounding landscape, whispering their subtle herbal aromas into the grapes. Grown in alluvial soils rich in calcium carbonate, this single-vineyard Chardonnay is fermented and aged in French oak barrels. The result is a wine that beautifully marries the rich, textured legacy of Burgundian-style winemaking with the fierce, mineral-driven tension unique to Mendoza's extreme high-altitude terroirs.
