Iscay Malbec - Cabernet Franc 2014

The Malbec delivers its deep purple-red color, with aromas of violets, ripe red fruits, a slight touch of spices and generous tannins. The Cabernet Franc contributes black fruit, a balsamic hint and tannins that structure the middle of the mouth. A perfect combination that results in a flavorful wine with great concentration, elegance, complexity and a pure finish.

A history of exploration

Since its early days, in 1883, Bodega Trapiche has received worldwide recognition for its relentless quest for innovation. Our full understanding of the land as our most valuable asset, combined with state-of-the-art technology to venture into otherwise unchartered territory, have turned Trapiche into a winery that is constantly challenging what is allegedly known.

The winery pioneered innovations such as the introduction of French varieties, the use of French oak barrels and the production of micro-terroir wines.

The relentless determination to achieve the highest standards in the world of winemaking has resulted in Trapiche's worldwide recognition on countless opportunities. Distinguished as the most awarded Argentine winery in the world in 2016 by the WAWWJ (World Association of Wine Writers and Wine Journalists), Trapiche was also the proud recipient of an accolade as the most admired winery in the world, awarded by the prestigious magazine Drinks International in 2017.

Discovering new, unexplored roads

Bodega Trapiche has made forays into new challenges since the very beginning. Its inquiring spirit has led the winery to find unique, remote locations where to grow grapes. This holds true not only for Mendoza, brimming with areas of excellent winemaking potential, but also for Chapadmalal, a place that realized Trapiche's pioneer spirit in the first wines of oceanic influence.

We explore the land

Biodynamic practices stand out as the purest forms of ecological agricultures, which are aimed at preserving the natural properties of crops by eliminating the use of chemicals, herbicides and fungicides and calculating the moon cycles for the harvest. Those practices also look to sustain ecosystem balance and biological diversity and to recover bacterial activity in the soil. The winery is surrounded by olive trees and vineyards managed under those practices, which include the use of organic plant and animal fertilizers from a farm located at the back of the winery and owned by Trapiche. We believe that to keep on producing, innovating and educating about our wines, we must respect what nature provides us.
