Winemaker Description

Fourth generation winemaker Federico Benegas Lynch was born and raised in the El Trapiche winery, where from a young age, his father had taught him how to blind taste wines. When he grew older, he went on to study with some of the best winemakers at wineries around the world. In 1999, under the guidance of Angel Mendoza, Trapiches head winemaker, Federico repurchased the old vineyard (Finca Libertad) that had belonged to his family, and was planted by Don Tiburcio. The following year, Federico bought a nineteenth century winery, outfitted it with state-of-the-art winemaking equipment, and began producing wines under the Bodega Benegas label. In 2010, Bodega Benegas acquired Finca La Encerrada, located in Gualtallary, Tupungato in Uco Valley; perched at over 4500 feet above sea level, the vineyard is among Mendozas highest altitude vineyards. It yields elegant wines of intense color, with pronounced fruity and floral aromatics and remarkable texture, due in large part to the exceptional climate and soil conditions.

Tasting Notes

The first attack of the taste of the wine is sweet, with bright notes of pineapple and peach. The second wave of taste is marked by delicate citrus notes and invigorating acidity, resulting in a perfect balance of freshness and sweetness. Light, aromatic aftertaste.
