Description
Alpataco Pinot Noir, Familia Schroeder, Patagonia, Argentina, 2021
Grape variety, 100% Pinot Noir lightly oaked.
Deeply perfumed aromas with notes of black cherry, redcurrant, summer fruit and plenty of power, spice and a silky balance. Sweet tannins and balanced acidity with fine notes of vanilla and cocoa powder. Hand-picked from the vineyards, located at the Neuquen River Valley, the grapes show a remarkable freshness and richness of flavours that translate into this attractive and vibrant wine.
Familia Schroeder are one of the pioneers of re-establishing vineyards in Patagonia and have a magnificent estate and winery in San Patricio del Chanar a lovely river valley within a harsh desert environment. Dry sunny days, cool nights and frequent winds characterise this terroir.
The Alpataco, after which the wine is named, is a thorny bush that embodies the spirit of resilience needed to prosper in the endless Patagonian plains.
Awarded 91/100 points by Tim Atkin MW, June 2022
