Hello slawecki-- while I agree that Broquel is a great wine for its price, please note that it is not the "better" label from Trapiche.

Broquel is sometimes (incorrectly) perceived as a higher end wine because the same market where it is available also carries the entry level Trapiche wines which have lower prices (sometimes 35% or more than what Broquel goes for). Despite the differences, Broquel is still inside the family of "everyday" wines made by Trapiche.

The better labels made by Trapiche include a number of blends and also some single-vineyard Malbecs. Im not completely up to speed on the portfolio of Trapiche labels that are available in your specific market, but here are some names for your to be on the lookout for:

Trapiche Medalla
Trapiche Gran Medalla
Trapiche Iscay
Trapiche Single Vineyard
