Pinot Noir 'Barda' Bodega Chacra 2025

The wine reality of Argentine Patagonia, Bodega Chacra, presents the Pinot Noir ‘Barda’, a label with a fresh and crunchy taste made from grapes sourced from the youngest vines. Due to these characteristics and its remarkable youthful expressiveness, the Pinot Noir ‘Barda’ has been conceived as a wine to be enjoyed relatively young, although it possesses excellent longevity. Like all the vineyards of the estate, the Pinot Noir vines destined for ‘Barda’ come from a mass selection and have been planted own-rooted, without grafting.

Bodega Chacra ‘Barda’ Pinot Noir is a pure expression of the eponymous Burgundy variety from vines planted in 1990 on slightly sandy soils. The agronomic management adheres to the principles of organic and biodynamic agriculture and the vineyards are located at an altitude between 290 and 330 meters above sea level. Harvesting is carried out in the early morning hours, the coolest part of the day, and the grapes are then transferred to the winery and partially whole-bunch fermented in concrete eggs, where alcoholic fermentation occurs spontaneously.low temperatures due to the sole action of indigenous yeasts. The subsequent maturation phase lasts 11 months and takes place for about half of the mass in concrete and for the remaining part in French oak barrels, 15% new. The liquid is finally bottled without undergoing any clarification or filtration.

The Argentine Pinot Noir ‘Barda’ from Bodega Chacra is a transparent ruby red color with garnet reflections. The nose offers fruity aromas of cherry, plum, and raspberry along with deep hints of black tea and sandalwood. Extremely fresh and easy to drink on the palate, with a silky tannic texture that accompanies the juicy and fruity finish.
