BARDA PINOT NOIR 2022 - BODEGA CHACRA

What would you say if we told you we found an epic Pinot Noir from the distant and frozen Patagonia? And yet, we are talking very seriously! We would not play with such a serious issue as Pinot Noir. Also this year got 93pts from James Suckling!

Here it goes. The winery is called Bodegas Chacra and is known for its high quality and with unrivaled finesse, Pinot Noir. In fact, they do not cultivate any other variety. They firmly believe that Patagonia's sunshine combined with the cool Andean breeze and high altitude are ideal for Pinot Noir because it ripes perfectly and retains its elegance and sharpness!

Barda has taken its name from the soil where it is cultivated and means steep slopes with scarce vegetation. The vineyards are the youngest of the estate and they are 28 years old. The precious juice ferments in oval cement tanks with indigenous yeasts and then matures for 10 months in French oak barrels.

The result is an incredibly expressive and typical Pinot Noir with crisp acidity and lacy tannins that looks at Burgundy straight in the eye.

It has ruby color ​​with purple hues.

Elegant nose but also intense with characteristic aromas of red fruits such as strawberry, raspberry, and cherry. Distinctive oaky character expressed as nutmeg, sandalwood, vanilla, and cinnamon.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied with crisp acidity and velvety tannins. Juicy red and black fruits such as cherry, sour cherry and plum entwined with notes of allspice, pepper, cinnamon, and leather. Hints of tea and herbs complement the special set. Enjoyable fruity aftertaste that lasts.
