Embark on a sensory journey to the foothills of the Andes with Trapiche Oak Cask Malbec, a testament to Argentinian winemaking expertise since 1883. Hailing from the renowned Mendoza region, this Malbec is an expression of the Andes Mountains, capturing the essence of its high-altitude vineyards.

The Trapiche Oak Cask Malbec is a classic choice for anyone seeking an approachable, yet flavorful red wine. The wine is fermented and aged in oak casks, imparting a subtle vanilla and spice character that complements the inherent fruitiness of the Malbec grape. Expect aromas of ripe plum, cherry, and a hint of chocolate, followed by a smooth, medium-bodied palate with well-integrated tannins. It’s an accessible and crowd-pleasing wine perfect for everyday enjoyment.

Why choose Trapiche? Trapiche stands as one of Argentina’s most recognized and awarded wineries, known for its dedication to innovation and quality. By selecting only the finest grapes and employing traditional winemaking techniques, Trapiche consistently delivers wines that reflect the unique terroir of Mendoza. The Oak Cask range, in particular, represents an excellent value, offering a taste of Argentina’s signature grape at an affordable price. Mendoza itself is celebrated for its ideal climate for Malbec, with sunny days and cool nights contributing to the grape's rich flavor profile and balanced acidity.

This versatile Malbec is a fantastic companion to a wide array of dishes. Its fruit-forward character and subtle spice make it an ideal pairing for grilled meats, such as steak or lamb. It also complements pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces, hearty stews, and roasted vegetables. For a more casual pairing, enjoy it with a selection of cheeses, particularly those with a slightly sharp or nutty flavor. Serve at 16°C, allowing it to breathe for 15 minutes before serving to unlock its full aromatic potential. It's a wine that's not only perfect for special occasions, but also for unwinding after a long day.
