Producer Information: Trapiche
Trapiche, rooted in the heart of Mendoza at the foothills of the Andes, stands as a pioneering force in Argentine winemaking since its founding in 1883 by Tiburcio Benegas. The estate’s philosophy centers on expressing the diverse terroirs of Mendoza through meticulous vineyard selection and innovative techniques such as microvinification, which allows for small-batch experimentation with single-parcel grapes. Trapiche is particularly celebrated for its Malbecs that capture the high-altitude character of Luján de Cuyo and Uco Valley, but their portfolio extends to Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Chardonnay that reflect Argentina’s varied climates. Beyond still wines, Trapiche crafts sparkling wines using traditional methods and has explored fortified styles that highlight local grape varieties. Their commitment to sustainable viticulture and regional authenticity positions them as a benchmark producer within South America’s premium wine category.

Malbec is a popular red wine grape variety known for its rich, full-bodied character and deep flavors. Originating from France, particularly in the Cahors region, it has gained immense popularity in Argentina’s Mendoza region, where it thrives in the unique terroir. This wine typically showcases flavor notes of dark fruits like blackberry and plum, complemented by hints of chocolate, tobacco, and leather.
The aromatic profile of Malbec includes enticing scents of black cherry, violet, cocoa, and spice. Its texture is characterized by smooth tannins and a velvety mouthfeel that enhances its appeal. Malbec pairs beautifully with grilled meats such as steak and barbecued dishes, making it an excellent choice for casual dining or special occasions. Winemaking techniques often involve oak aging in French or American barrels to add complexity to the wine’s flavor profile.
