Founded in 1883, Trapiche is one of Argentina’s leading wineries. Twice it has won ‘Argentine Wine Producer of the Year’ at the International Wine & Spirit Competition and in 2019, 'New World Winery of the Year'. Every year Daniel Pi, one of the most capable and knowledgeable winemakers in the country, chooses the three best Malbecs from 90 separate vineyards for Trapiche’s premium Single Vineyard range. Grapes for this wine were hand harvested from Finca Ambrosia’s high (1300 metres) Gualtallary vineyard, then vinified in small vats with natural yeasts and matured for 18 months in new French oak. It’s a remarkable, textured wine, offering “Blackberries with violets and flowers on the nose” (James Suckling). Open early and decant.

"Full-bodied and tight with firm, silky tannins and a long finish of blueberries and graphite. Inky" James Suckling
