Winemaker Notes
Vibrant red in the glass with fresh floral aromas mingling with red currants, strawberries, and raspberries. A medium-bodied pinot noir with ultrafine tannins and a refreshing balance between fruit, mushroom, and mineral notes, with hints of spice and cocoa from aging in oak barrels.

Red fruit with mushroom undertones. It’s medium-bodied with soft tannin's. Juicy with a clean, refreshing palate. Nice drink ability and a flavorful finish. Drink now. Screw cap.
The Limay river joins the Neuquén river to form the Rio Negro, which flows to the Atlantic Ocean and separates Patagonia from the Pampas. The pristine Limay river flows from the Andes mountain snows and has some great fly fishing. The vineyards are located in San Patricio del Chañar, in the province of Neuquén, and with a short growing season, Pinot Noir is perfectly suited to this region.
