Trapiche Melodias Winemaker Selection Malbec

Winemaker Trapiche on the winery

“We have been making wine in Mendoza, at the foot of the Andes, since 1883. From the beginning, we have been driven by curiosity and the desire to explore the potential of Argentine wine. We work with our own vineyards and more than three hundred growers, allowing us to select grapes from a variety of terroirs. We combine traditional knowledge with modern techniques to showcase Mendoza’s diversity, from approachable, fruit-forward wines to complex expressions of grape variety and origin.”

And on Mendoza, Argentina

“For our Melodias Winemaker Selection Malbec, we use 100% Malbec from vineyards near the Mendoza River. After destemming, we cold-macerate the grapes to develop colour and preserve their fruit aromas. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 23–26°C for around fifteen days. The wine then matures in oak for nine months, with French and American oak adding depth and complexity. Expect ripe plum, blackberry and blackcurrant, complemented by toast, vanilla and a hint of black pepper. The palate is full and supple, with soft tannins and a spicy finish.”
