Producer Information: Trapiche

Trapiche is based in Mendoza, Argentina, at the foothills of the Andes Mountains. Established in 1883 by Tiburcio Benegas, Trapiche began as a small vineyard and winery that quickly grew into one of Argentina’s most significant wine producers. The company emphasizes innovation and sustainability in its production approach, utilizing both traditional winemaking techniques and modern technology to craft wines that express the unique terroir of Mendoza. Their vineyards benefit from high-altitude conditions and diverse microclimates, which contribute to the complexity and balance found in their wines.

Beyond their flagship Malbecs, Trapiche offers an extensive portfolio that includes varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Torrontés. They also produce sparkling wines using both Charmat and traditional methods. In addition to still and sparkling wines, Trapiche has expanded into limited-edition releases like single-vineyard selections and icon wines that highlight specific plots within their estates. While primarily focused on wine production rather than spirits or beer brewing, Trapiche’s broad range appeals to both casual drinkers and collectors seeking premium Argentine expressions across multiple grape varieties.
