Otronia

Otronia is one of the most extraordinary wineries in the world, set in the far south of Argentine Patagonia at the 45th parallel, among the most southerly vineyards on the planet. From this extreme, windswept frontier it crafts cool-climate wines of remarkable purity. The vineyards endure fierce Patagonian winds, intense sunlight and cold nights, conditions that give low yields but wines of striking freshness, minerality and tension. Meticulous, sustainable farming makes viticulture possible at the very edge of the map. The range spans a taut, saline Chardonnay and an elegant Pinot Noir from the estate's finest parcels, alongside the excellent-value 45 Rugientes range, named for the Roaring Forties winds, in both an aromatic white blend and a fresh Pinot Noir. Pure, mineral and utterly singular, Otronia's wines capture the wild beauty of extreme-south Patagonia. They are a thrilling taste of viticulture at its limits.
