Trapiche is one of Argentina’s foundational wine estates — a producer of scale, history, and quiet innovation that has helped shape the international perception of Argentine wine for over 130 years. Founded in 1883 in Mendoza, Trapiche has grown from a regional bodega into a global ambassador for Malbec, while continually pushing the boundaries of terroir expression, vineyard sustainability, and varietal clarity. It is a house that balances reach with refinement, legacy with evolution.

The estate’s vineyards are spread across Mendoza’s most renowned subregions — from the sunlit plains of Maipú to the high-altitude terraces of Uco Valley. Here, the Andes provide both elevation and water, yielding grapes of intense concentration, bright acidity, and natural structure. Malbec is the cornerstone, but the range also includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Chardonnay, and increasingly, regional expressions of lesser-known varietals. Farming is guided by principles of sustainability, biodiversity, and long-term soil regeneration, with many sites now managed organically or biodynamically.

Trapiche is known for its three-tiered philosophy: Varietal, Reserve, and Single Vineyard wines. The Varietal range showcases purity and fruit, while the Reserves offer layered complexity with selective oak ageing. At the pinnacle are the Single Vineyard Malbecs — sourced from high-altitude parcels and named after the individual growers who farm them. These wines, introduced in 2003, reflect Trapiche’s deep commitment to honoring viticultural craftsmanship and the subtle differences of soil, elevation, and microclimate.

Winemaking is shaped by both scale and sensitivity. Modern vinification techniques are paired with small-lot fermentations, natural yeasts in select cuvées, and a nuanced use of French and American oak. The goal is always balance — wines that are accessible yet age-worthy, expressive yet unforced. Whether a bright, juicy Malbec or a structured, site-specific single vineyard bottling, every Trapiche wine is designed to reflect the land it came from, with clarity and respect.

What defines Trapiche is its breadth — not as volume, but as vision. It is a producer that honors both the everyday drinker and the collector, crafting wines that span from table to cellar without ever losing connection to place.

These are wines that move confidently across altitude and appellation — grounded in Mendoza, expansive in scope, and always led by the vineyard first.
