The story of Trapiche Malbec

Trapiche has been making wine in Mendoza since 1883, when Tiburcio Benegas bought a property with a small vineyard and named it El Trapiche. The original estate sits at the foot of the Andes, and the winery is now owned by Grupo Peñaflor.

Malbec dominates what Trapiche makes. The winery works with more than 300 growers and its grapes are grown at altitudes from 600 to 1,200 metres. It was among the first wineries in Argentina to use French oak barrels, and it adapted French vine-angling methods to shield its vines from the strong southern sun.

This Malbec is bright red with violet hues. The nose is fruity, with plum and cherry, and the palate is round, with a touch of truffle and vanilla.

It is a natural match for a Sunday barbecue: grilled steak, chorizo and peppers, lamb chops, or a pot of beef and bean stew. Serve it at cool cellar temperature rather than warm, and open it twenty minutes before dinner so the fruit has time to settle.
