Otronia Block I is born in one of the most austral places where a vine can exist: the 45°33’ parallel’, a natural border between the known world and extreme Patagonia.
The vineyard lives between poor soils, constant winds, and freezing nights.
There is no room for error here: only the strongest plants survive, and from them come the clusters that define this wine.
This Pinot Noir comes from Block 1 of Chacra 22, a plot distinguished by its floral expression, spicy herbal notes, and the taut, crisp red fruit of the region.
The grape is harvested in March, in small boxes, and is fermented in concrete using 50% de racimo entero, which provides tension, verticality, and a unique aromatic character.
Malolactic fermentation occurs in Untoasted French oak staves, where the wine rests between 18 and 20 months.
The goal is not to impart wood influence, but rather precision, purity, and absolute respect for the origin.
The result is a Pinot Noir that doesn't copy any style: It is Patagonia speaking through wine.
