Established in 1883, the pioneering spirit at Trapiche continues to change the very landscape of Argentinian wine: in addition to having led the charge in introducing Bordeaux grape varieties into the country’s vineyards, using French oak in the winery and citing micro-terroirs in its wines, in more recent years it has expanded winemaking out to the east coast, with its Chapadmalal winery; opened in 2015 just six kilometres from the Atlantic Ocean near the town of Mar del Plata, it produces delicate cooler climate wines with the unorthodox additions of first Albariño and, more recently, Assyrtiko grapes.
