Craftsmanship & Story

Founded in 1883, Trapiche is one of Argentina’s most celebrated wineries, blending pioneering innovation with deep-rooted tradition. The Medalla Malbec was first released in 1983 to honour Trapiche’s centenary, crafted from Mendoza’s finest old-vine fruit. Winemaker Sergio Casé employs precision viticulture and minimal intervention to achieve balance, depth, and varietal purity, capturing the essence of Argentina’s sun-kissed terroir.

Special Features

This Malbec’s luxurious texture and layered complexity reflect meticulous craftsmanship — a harmony of ripe fruit and refined oak. Extended ageing in new French barrels adds volume and spice, while Mendoza’s altitude and cool nights preserve freshness and poise. The result is a wine of substance, elegance, and enduring appeal.
