✨ Technical Specifications
Trivento's Golden Reserve Chardonnay is a testament to the exceptional potential of high-altitude white wines in Mendoza. Sourced from selected vineyards in the cool-climate microclimates of the Uco Valley, particularly Tupungato, the grapes benefit from intense alpine sunlight and dramatic diurnal temperature swings. The winery's name, meaning 'Three Winds,' refers to the Polar, Zonda, and Sudestada winds that sweep through Mendoza, naturally protecting the vines and keeping the grapes pristine. Hand-harvested and fermented in French oak barrels, this Chardonnay undergoes partial malolactic fermentation and aging on its fine lees. This meticulous process yields a sophisticated wine that beautifully balances vibrant citrus and tropical fruit aromas with elegant notes of toasted brioche, vanilla, and a rich, mineral-driven texture.
🍾 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.
