Trapiche is arguably Argentina’s most significant wine producer, part of the giant Penaflor Group, which has been owned by the Bemberg family since 2010. It is based in Maipu, Mendoza, where it has its winery. Led by Director of Winemaking, Daniel Pi, the wines are modern and of very high quality, spanning ranges that offer value, to single vineyard expressions. Trapiche draws from over 1.250 ha of estate vineyards and works with over 300 contract growers. The ‘Medalla’ range is one of the higher tiers, and here, I review the 2015 ‘Medalla’ Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a more fragrant expression with an array of aromatics, rather than a linear varietal style. www.trapiche.com.ar The wine is distributed in New Zealand by EuroVintage. www.eurovintage.co.nz
