Bodegas Benegas, revived in 1999 by Federico Benegas Lynch, carries forward one of Mendoza's oldest and most storied winemaking legacies, tracing back to Tiburcio Benegas's founding of Trapiche in 1883. Named after Federico's son, the "Juan Benegas" cuvée blends fruit from the estate's historic Finca Libertad vineyard in Maipú with high-altitude parcels in Gualtallary, Uco Valley, capturing vibrant Argentine purity and approachable elegance.
Crafted from 100% Malbec in the acclaimed 2019 vintage, the wine undergoes a pre-fermentative cold maceration followed by two weeks of post-fermentation skin contact and unoaked maturation in stainless steel tanks to preserve pure varietal fruit clarity. Offering lively red and dark berry freshness supported by supple tannins and crisp natural acidity, this bottling delivers remarkable balance and everyday drinkability.
