The Pioneering Argentine Winery Celebrates Anniversary
NEW YORK, Oct. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Trapiche, one of Argentina's largest and most historically-important wineries, is proud to celebrate its 140th anniversary. For more than a century, Trapiche has been a leader in the production and exportation of top-quality varietal wines from Mendoza.
Since its foundation in 1883, Trapiche has been at the forefront of Argentina's wine industry. Trapiche introduced Bordeaux grape varieties early on, was the first Argentine winery to import oak barrels from France, and pioneered the use of stainless steel tanks for fermentation and storage in Argentina. In a constant quest for excellence, Trapiche also hired renowned international consultants, who contributed critical winemaking expertise and knowledge for making world-class wines. These efforts have contributed significantly to preserving the characteristics of grape varieties and adding elegance and sophistication to the wines of Mendoza.
"Our commitment to exploration and discovery has driven us to produce wines that captivate the palates of wine consumers around the world", says Sergio Casé, Trapiche's Chief Winemaker. "We continuously work with a variety of grapes, seek different soils and microclimates and experiment with an array of oak barrels and winemaking techniques. In 2009 we planted vines in Chapadamal just 6 km from the coast and now produce a Costa y Pampa, a line of oceanic-influenced wines at our newly established winery there."
Trapiche has received numerous awards in recognition for its commitment to quality and excellence, including New World Winery of the Year in 2019 by Wine Enthusiast and Top 100 New World Wineries of the Year by Wine & Spirits magazine.
Trapiche markets major brands across the US, including Terroir Series, Iscay and Oak Cask, as well as Medalla and Gran Medalla, which pay tribute to the winery's history. Trapiche's latest portfolio of varietal wines, Tesoro, releases in November 2023.
