✨ Technical Specifications
Trivento's Terralis Chardonnay Torrontés is a vibrant, youthful white blend that captures the sunny, high-altitude spirit of Mendoza. The name Terralis pays homage to the earth and the diverse soils of the Andean foothills. This expressive blend marries the structural elegance and stone-fruit character of Chardonnay with the highly aromatic, exotic floral notes of Torrontés—Argentina's signature white grape. Fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its bright fruit profile and crisp acidity, this wine reflects the cooling influence of the Zonda and Sudestada winds that sweep through the vineyards, ensuring a refreshing, clean, and balanced finish without any oak influence.
🍾 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.
