Description:
Otronia is located at 45.33° S in the province of Chubut, the most southerly winemaking region in the world. Their vines are planted on the shore of Lake Musters, once called ‘Otron’ by the region’s indigenous people. The environment here is incredibly hostile, with very little rainfall, bitterly cold temperatures,...
The Otronia Patagonia Pinot Noir is sourced from the sand and clay soils of ‘Block 1’. It is fermented in concrete with 50% whole bunch to enhance its perfume and structure. This was followed by malolactic fermentation and once completed, the wine was aged in un-toasted French oak foudres for 18-20 months prior to bottling. This wine is a ruby red colour with violet hues. Notes of raspberries and cherries are combined with notes of dry herbs, truffle, and freshly cut flowers. The palate is delicate with a persistent structure. Silky tannins, combined with a firm natural acidity, give this wine a unique vitality and depth.
