✨ Technical Specifications
The Tribu range from Trapiche is crafted to celebrate the spirit of togetherness and the shared joy of wine, taking its name from the Spanish word for 'tribe'. Representing a modern, approachable side of Mendoza's viticulture, this Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from vineyards nestled along the foothills of the Andes. Here, intense high-altitude sunlight and cool mountain breezes create the perfect conditions for ripening grapes while preserving vibrant acidity. To emphasize fresh, fruit-forward characteristics, the wine is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with minimal oak contact, resulting in an easy-drinking, lively red that captures the youthful energy of Argentine winemaking.
🍾 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.
