Founded in 1883, Trapiche is one of Argentina’s most historic wineries and a foundational force behind the rise of Mendoza as a world-class wine region. Established during a wave of European immigration and agricultural modernization, Trapiche played a critical role in shaping Argentina’s early wine infrastructure, introducing modern winemaking techniques and international grape varieties. As Argentina’s wine industry evolved, it became a pioneer in high-altitude viticulture, vineyard research, and terroir exploration in the foothills of the Andes. The winery’s development mirrored Argentina’s transformation from domestic wine producer to global wine contender, helping bring Argentine Malbec and regional styles to international recognition.
Trapiche’s identity is deeply tied to innovation, adaptability, and national ambition. It has continuously modernized - adopting sustainable vineyard practices, technological advancement, and global partnerships - while preserving its historic estate and long-standing production philosophy.
Beyond wine, Trapiche symbolizes Argentina’s cultural fusion of European heritage and New World confidence, representing a broader story of immigration, experimentation, and economic growth. It stands as both a winery and a national ambassador, telling the story of Argentina’s emergence on the world wine stage.
