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.
