✨ Technical Specifications
Part of Trapiche's acclaimed Terroir Series, the Viña Eleodoro Aciar Malbec is a masterclass in single-vineyard expression, celebrating the unique partnership between the winery and its dedicated grape growers. Located in the extreme, high-altitude microclimate of El Cepillo in San Carlos, Uco Valley, the vineyard sits at over 1,100 meters above sea level. Here, grower Eleodoro Aciar tends to vines planted in sandy-loam soils layered with calcium carbonate. The intense solar radiation and dramatic diurnal temperature swings yield small, concentrated berries. The resulting wine, typically aged for 12 to 18 months in French oak, is a profound and structured Malbec characterized by intense dark fruit, wild herbs, violets, and a distinctive chalky minerality that reflects its unique Andean terroir.
