Patagonia sits in the southern extremes of Argentina, where cooler temperatures and strong winds foster wines with striking freshness and purity. While Malbec still holds a place here, Pinot Noir is increasingly prominent, thanks to the region’s broad day-to-night temperature swings that enhance aromatics and acidity. Bodegas Chacra stands out for its exceptional single-vineyard Pinot Noirs, shining a spotlight on Patagonia’s unique terroir. From crisp whites to elegant reds, this frontier of Argentine viticulture delivers a vibrant and nuanced taste of the country’s diverse wine landscape.

Trousseau is a light-skinned grape variety with origins in the Jura region of France, where it is valued for producing pale red wines with a distinctive savory and spicy character. Known locally as Bastardo in Portugal and increasingly gaining attention in California, particularly in regions seeking lighter-bodied reds, Trousseau yields wines that are often marked by bright acidity and earthy undertones. Its aromas can range from red berries and cherries to forest floor and a peppery spice, making it a unique and intriguing variety for those seeking something beyond the more common red grapes.

Certified Biodynamic vineyard farming is a holistic approach building upon organic principles, viewing the vineyard as a self-contained ecosystem influenced by cosmic rhythms. Based on Rudolf Steiner's teachings, it integrates precise agricultural methods with lunar and astrological calendars, using natural preparations from herbs, minerals, and manure to enhance soil and plant health. Certification by organizations like Demeter International requires rigorous inspections to ensure strict compliance. Biodynamic farming seeks not only high-quality wines but also ecological harmony, sustainability, and deeper connections among land, plants, animals, and humans.
