Trapiche

Trapiche was founded in Mendoza in 1883 and is one of Argentina’s traditional wineries. The estate works with grapes from its own vineyards and purchased grapes from different elevations and terroirs; official figures state more than 1.000 hectares of vineyards, while other industry sources cite 1.255 hectares and more than 300 partner growers. In the cellar, Trapiche combines traditional methods with technology and was an early adopter of French grape varieties and French barriques. The official website also describes biodynamically farmed areas around the estate, without applying this to the entire range.
