Bodega Chacra Barda Pinot Noir 2021
Bodega Chacra is located in the Rio Negro Valley of northern Patagonia. Founded in 2004 by Piero Incisa della Rocchetta, the man has dedicated himself to producing world class Pinot Noir from one of the harshest and remote wine regions on the planet.
Grape Varietals & Region: This is an alert Pinot Noir from Piero Incisa della Rocchetta’s Patagonia winery.
Taste Profile: Bodega Chacra Barda Pinot Noir is pure, minerally and powerful. With concentrated flavors of red plum, cherries and dried raspberry, loaded with powerful meaty notes. Sandalwood accents linger on the finish, showing caressing tannins. It is medium bodied on the palate, showing a light tannic rub. It's a delicious example of New World Pinot Noir, absolutely worth seeking out. Possibly our best Pinot buy of the year. A pure, driven, ethereal beauty of a Patagonian red.
Winemaking Process: A neglected plot of Pinot Noir planted over 70 years ago forms the foundations of the label with more vineyards having been procured over time. He farms these sites in accordance with biodynamics, believing that healthy vines make the best wines.
