✨ Technical Specifications
Trivento's Reserve Chardonnay is a vibrant expression of Mendoza's high-altitude terroir, where the dramatic influence of the Andes Mountains meets the legendary three winds—the Polar, Zonda, and Sudestada—that give the winery its name. Sourced from select vineyards in Mendoza, the grapes benefit from intense alpine sunlight and cool night breezes, preserving natural acidity while developing rich tropical fruit flavors. To craft this elegant white, winemakers employ gentle pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation, followed by a brief period of aging in French oak barrels. This careful process imparts a delicate touch of vanilla and toasted coconut to the wine's bright green apple and pear core, resulting in a beautifully balanced, creamy texture that honors Mendoza's modern white winemaking evolution.
🍾 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.
