Bodegas Chacra Pinot Noir Sin Azufre '20

A wine with a blue blood pedigree, Bodegas Chacra is produced by Piero Incisa della Rocchetta, grandson of Mario, the creator of Sassicaia and Jean-Marc Roulot, of Burgundy fame.  They began this project after a blind tasting of Pinot Noir from around the world. Impressed by the Argentinian examples, they took off to explore the high elevation, nascent vineyards of Patagonia. This is a partnership of wine royalty, a supergroup on the scale of The HighwayMen. 

  These grapes were planted in 1955, and farmed organically and under biodynamic principles, Chacra is a pioneer of Patagonian winemaking. 100% Pinot Noir is fermented with native yeast, and aged in 30% concrete, 60% neutral french oak, and 10% stone vessels for 11 months. It is bottled with no additional sulfites added, an utter rarity anywhere, especially in an emerging region like Patagonia! 

Flavors reminiscent of roasted beets, raspberry bramble, and fresh soil come through on the palate, uniting  traditional & natural wine components.
