Savory, mossy red berries with a stony edge. Fresh but not too demanding on the palate, with nice volume and texture on the mid-palate. Fresh and chalky tannins linger in the finish. Around 30% to 40% whole clusters. Drink now. ~ 93 James Suckling
Of the 51 hectares that Otronia has planted in Sarmiento, on the shores of Lake Musters, half are pinot noir. This is from a selection of 13-year-old blocks of different clones on different soils that yield this wine, which was aged for 20 months in foudres. A pinot of pure tart red fruits and floral notes, sharp acidity, fine tannins, and herbal notes toward the finish. A fine, elegant, and purely fruity pinot. ~ 93 Descorchados
The 2021 Pinot Noir 45° Rugientes originates from Patagonia's southernmost vineyard, in Sarmiento, Chubut. Aged up to 20 months in French oak foudres and concrete vats, this ruby-hued wine exudes notes of cherry, dried herbs and rose. Dry and lean, a framework of balanced acidity compliments a delicate palate, culminating in a long-lasting, fruit-driven finish. A compact yet complex Pinot Noir, the 2021 showcases the variety’s fruity side. ~ 92 Vinous Media
A red wine made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes grown in the Sarmiento area of Chubut, fermented in concrete vats (partly with whole bunches) and then aged for 20 to 22 months in untoasted French oak foudres. Another excellent vintage, it displays fresh red fruit aromas, followed by floral, herbal, and spicy notes that are confirmed on the palate, all supported by vigorous acidity and fine, nervous tannins. Tense, crisp, and precise, it has a refined and persistent finish with saline, cherry, and earthy touches. ~ 92 Revista Adega
~92 Tim Atkin, Master of Wine
Hailing from the southernmost edge of Patagonia's wine region, this Pinot Noir thrives despite the challenges of a harsh, cool climate. It has an energetic character, with a nose of subtle earthy aromas that seamlessly carry through to the palate, followed by notes of blackberries and uplifting acidity. ~ 91 Wine EnthusiastA well-knit version, with layers of orange peel, fresh cardamom and tea leaf to the fresh Rainier cherry and Santa Rosa plum core, which lengthens and finishes around mineral-tinged tannins. Drink now through 2034. 3,500 cases made, 364 cases imported. ~ 90 Wine Spectator
