✨ Technical Specifications
The Trivento Golden Reserve Black Series Syrah represents a focused exploration of Mendoza's high-altitude terroirs, moving beyond the region's famous Malbec to showcase the remarkable potential of Syrah. The name Trivento, meaning 'Three Winds,' refers to the Polar, Zonda, and Sudestada winds that sweep through the vineyards of Mendoza, creating a unique microclimate that naturally protects the vines and concentrates the grape flavors. Sourced from hand-selected parcels in premium sub-regions of Mendoza, this Syrah undergoes meticulous fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a sophisticated expression of the varietal, balancing intense dark fruit characteristics with complex notes of black pepper, smoked meat, and subtle spices, framed by ripe, velvety tannins.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1996 as the Argentine subsidiary of Chilean wine powerhouse Viña Concha y Toro, Bodega Trivento takes its name from the three Andean winds that shape Mendoza's viticultural landscape: the arid, warming Zonda, the cooling oceanic Sudestada, and the frigid winter Polar. Headquartered in Maipú, Trivento manages extensive vineyard holdings spanning premier subregions of the Uco Valley and Luján de Cuyo. The estate's viticulture thrives in semi-arid, high-altitude alluvial terroirs characterized by dramatic diurnal temperature swings and well-draining stony-loam soils. Under head winemaker Germán Di Cesare, Trivento emphasizes aromatic precision, tension, and freshness over overt extraction or heavy oak. Achieving B Corp certification for its environmental and social stewardship, the winery balances massive commercial scale with technical innovation, exemplified by its pioneering Reserve White Malbec—a blanc de noirs made via rapid early-harvest pressing—alongside its acclaimed, structured benchmark, the Golden Reserve Malbec.
