Founded in 1883, Trapiche is one of Argentina's leading wineries, twice winning 'Argentine Wine Producer of the Year' at the International Wine & Spirit Competition. Every year, winemaker Daniel Pi features just three Malbecs from over 90 separate vineyards to feature in the premium Single Vineyard Range.
The grapes for this majestic example were hand-harvested from Cristina and Bibiana Coletto's 60-year-old ungrafted vines, planted at 1,127 metres in Tupungato. Vinified in small, open fermenters and matured for 18 months in new French oak, Daniel says it is "the freshest and most fluid of the Terroir series".
A wine of riveting intensity and finesse, it will cellar well for many years to come – though it is also drinking well now. Pour and enjoy wonderful aromas of spice, lavender, vanilla and cigar box. Taste and experience a decadent lushness, with ripe black fruit, graphite minerality and spice. This is superb.
Trapiche selects three top growers each vintage and honours them with a special bottling. Robert Parker says “these wines are among the finest values in high class Malbec”. The apogee of fine Malbec, Coletto has riveting intensity and finesse.
Hervé himself has been awarded Argentine Wine Producer of the Year at the 2017 International Wine & Spirit Competition and Red Winemaker of the Year at the International Wine Challenge 2018!
