Otronia
View all products
Bodega Otronia is located in the heart of Patagonia on parallel 45'33, on the shores of Lake Musters - called "Otron" by the ancient settlers; probably the last southern frontier for cultivating vines.
It has 50 hectares of organic vineyards, with varieties such as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris, being one of the southernmost vineyards in South America and the world. The cold temperatures, the thermal amplitude, the strong winds and the soils make Otronia wines different and unique.
Their philosophy is to produce wines that express the extreme climatic conditions of the place.
Pinot Noir Wine

Pinot Noir is a red wine grape variety that is known for its delicate and nuanced character. The grape is relatively difficult to grow, but when it is grown in the right conditions, it produces some of the finest and most sought-after wines in the world. Pinot Noir wines are known for their complexity and a wide range of flavors and aromas, which are often described as being "red" or "dark" fruit flavors such as cherry, strawberry, and raspberry, as well as earthy, spicy, and floral notes.
Pinot Noir wines tend to be light- to medium-bodied with a delicate structure and a moderate level of tannins and acidity. The flavor profile of Pinot Noir wines can vary greatly depending on where it is grown, for example, Pinot Noir from Burgundy, France, tends to be elegant and nuanced, with a focus on red fruit and floral notes, while Pinot Noir from Oregon and California tends to be more full-bodied and have a higher proportion of dark fruit flavors.
Pinot Noir is a wine that pairs well with a wide range of foods, particularly poultry, duck, pork and mushroom-based dishes. Due to its delicate character, it's often recommended to serve it slightly chilled to enhance its fruit and floral aromas, and to avoid overpowering the wine with strong or spicy foods.
