A solid red, featuring notes of racy blackberry and raspberry, with light tannins and layers of spice, mocha and grilled game flavors. This is rich, but juicy acidity keeps the wine fresh in the end.

Trapiche represents the richness of diversity in Argentina. Trapiche's motto is "where there is soil, the sky is the limit" and this leads the brand to explore Argentina's extensive lands in search of new experiences. Since 1883, Trapiche has been located in Maipú, in the province of Mendoza, and is the leading Argentine winery in terms of production and exports, reaching over 80 countries. Since the beginning, Trapiche has understood the promise of viticulture in Argentina. Trapiche specializes in bringing out the best of each terroir and creating unique wines from each. This diversity is possible thanks to 3000 acres of owned vineyards and 300 independent producers who contribute their best grapes for the wines. Quality, innovation and diversity have always been the pillars that guide Trapiche's journey.
Most distinguished and celebrated from Argentina’s Mendoza, Malbec has seen runaway success since the early 2000s. Mendoza’s agreeable, continental climate with hot, dry summers and cold snowy winters allows the perfect conditions for growing outstanding Malbec. This grape is easy to like for its lusty, deep flavors and aromas of blackberry, plum, red cherry, autumn spice and tilled earth. It’s easy to find delicious, fruit-driven, affordable everyday examples and in prices beyond, quite exceptional ones with dense, supple textures that make them capable of aging.
