More about the winery

One of the most exciting vineyard developments in Argentina this past decade, Trapiche’s Costa y Pampa vineyard was first planted in 2009 as a daring experiment but has gone on to become the vinous face of Argentina’s coast. Now with over 40 hectares of vines planted on the gentle slopes of Chapadmalal, just a few kilometres from the Atlantic sea, this coastal climate produces wines of balance and freshness.

The whites are my favourites so far: tangy, citrus-y Albariño; mouthwatering, saline Chardonnay; and grassy, fresh Sauvignon Blanc. But there’s also a fresh and juicy Pinot Noir and a couple of racy traditional method sparkling wines, including a rosé, to imbibe on.

Right near the coastal resorts of Mar del Plata, the winery is a popular wine tasting visit especially in the summer. Book ahead!
