✨ Technical Specifications
As part of Trapiche's esteemed Terroir Series, the Viña Pedro González Malbec is a single-vineyard bottling that celebrates the vital partnership between the winery and its dedicated independent growers. This specific expression comes from Pedro González's vineyard located in El Cepillo, a cool-climate sub-region of the Uco Valley in Mendoza situated at an elevation of over 1,100 meters. The extreme diurnal temperature shifts and calcium carbonate-rich soils of this high-altitude site impart a distinct mineral tension and structural elegance to the wine. Crafted with traditional fermentation and aged for around 18 months in French oak barrels, this Malbec showcases the intense concentration, floral lift, and chalky tannins characteristic of El Cepillo's unique 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.
