✨ 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.
🍾 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.
