Trapiche Melodias Winemakers Selection Malbec, Mendoza

Description

Trapiche Melodias Winemakers Selection Malbec is red wine which forms part of the new Melodias wine range from Trapiche.

This wine is the same as the old Trapiche Collecion Roble Malbec wine but Argentinian wines are not allowed to use the word “Roble” in the EU. Trapiche are located in Mendoza, at the foothills of the Andes. Over the last 125 years Trapiche’s reputation has grown because of their pioneering and innovative spirit and their dedication to quality and diversity to produce the highest quality wines. They represent the richness of diversity in Argentina, with over a 1000 ha of their own vineyards and taking advantage of the different soils and climates, Trapiche have specialised in obtaining the best fruit from their terroir.

This 100% Malbec is made from grapes grown at Finca Las Palmas, Cruz de Piedra, Maipu in the Mendoza wine-growing region. The grapes are hand-picked into 20kg boxes and destalked prior to fermentation. The wine is allowed to undergo malolactic fermentation and is then aged for 12 months in French and American oak.
