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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
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.
