Otronia Rugientes 45

45 Rugientes is a summary of Otronia's 22 hectares of pinot noir in Sarmiento, which corresponds to almost half of the vineyard in that remote area of Patagonia, next to Lake Muster. With two years of foudres, this has a delicious fruit character. There are earthy notes and some spice, but above all, tart red fruits and flowers in a wine that is light bodied but that also has a firm, fibrous texture, like the muscles of a marathon runner.

From the southernmost wine region in Argentina comes this well-balanced Pinot Noir. After aeration the nose opens up and gives aromas of berries and nutmeg. The palate is broad, showing red fruit and herbs backed by firm tannins and lively acidity. It has a medium finish with delicious notes of baking spices. This is fresh and promising.
