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.
