Otronia Patagonian Pinot Noir 2019

Description

Otronia Patagonian Pinot Noir 2019 is the new name for what used to be Otronia Block I Pinot Noir. Previously produced from grapes solely from the vineyard Block I, Otronia’s best vineyard, it is now more specifically produced from Pinot Noir grapes from parcel 22 from Block I. Single vineyard Pinot Noir means that it displays red fruit, herbal and spicy floral characteristics that distinguish the terroir of this particularly cool climate area. Bodega Otronia is in the heart of Patagonia at what is considered to be the most southern vine-growing area. The cold, dry climate, winds and sunlight intensity and the unique soils make for disease-free organic grapes and a unique profile to the wine, in particular mouth-watering acidity and aromatics.

Otronia Patagonian Pinot Noir 2019 tastes of red fruits such as sour cherries and raspberries with complex herbaceous notes of oregano and thyme. Winemaker, Juan Pablo Murgia, has won a number of Winemaker of the Year awards; his study of each vineyard in each vintage, make for very terroir-focused, complex wines. The wine was fermented in concrete and aged in untoasted French oak huge vats to ensure that the oak influence is more on the texture of the wine than on the flavours. Otronia Patagonian Pinot Noir 2019 is very silky in texture, the tannins soft and integrated which combine to bring a certain elegance to the wine.
