Pinot Noir from Patagonia - 90p

Wine from Patagonia, the southern part of Argentina, is quite rare. I wrote about Bodega Chacra a few years back, and since then the quality and recognition has gone through the roof. It peaked a couple of months back when one of their top cuvees received 100 points from a couple of well recognised wine journalists.
Our wine of the week is their Best Buy and a bottle of exceptional quality. But before we dive in to the tasting notes, take a moment to look at these images from Patagonia. It was shot back in 2014, but the scenery still makes an impression, and gives you a good idea on what landscape the grapes of these wines thrive in.

Tating Notes

​Bodega Chacra Barda Pinot Noir 2020 - 239kr

Deep ruby red colour.
Intriguing smells of ripe cherries, ripe red plums, leather shop, sage, mint, liquorice and slightly burnt wood.
Complex and lovely in the mouth with bright flavours of ripe red berries and herbs. Nicely integrated oak and excellent length. A great wine!

With food
Versatile food wine, as it will be great with your grilled steak but also with lighter meats. Try it with chicken stew or pork chops on the bone.
