Description

A Chardonnay from Patagonia with unparalleled finesse and minerality

The estate

In 2004, Piero Incisa della Rocchetta had the ambition of bringing out the purest expression of the climate, microclimate and, more broadly, the terroir of Mainqué, in the Rio Negro region in Patagonia. To achieve this, he founded Bodega Chacra with a focus on biodynamism and organic farming. In this way, with the greatest respect for the environment and thanks to an unfailing ear and knowledge for nature, this daring enthusiast produces pure, delicate and floral wines with an intense minerality.

The vineyard

Bodega Chacra is rooted at the heart of the Rio Negro region upon lands borne from the junction between two rivers named Limay and Neuquén. They stretch into plains and a forest at an altitude of between 290 and 330 metres above sea level. There, the climate is windy and dry. Nevertheless, the irrigation canals dug by British settlers at the dawn of the 19th century make it, effectively, a "green lung" suitable for agriculture. Chacra Chardonnay 2020 is made in collaboration Jean-Marc Roulot, and is made from 40-year-old vines rooted in mineral soils with alluvial soils covered with limestone.

The wine

The name "chacra" designates a particular piece of land intended for pomology, that being the cultivation of edible fruits. Chacras are centres for vital energy and wine, through the way in which it accompanies moments of enjoyment and relaxation, embodies this idea of connection to one’s senses.

Winemaking and ageing

After the manual harvests, the grapes are taken to the cellar to begin a very natural and precise winemaking process. The wine develops its character in various receptacles: French oak barrels, egg-shaped concrete vats, stoneware pots. 

Blend

Chardonnay (100%).

Tasting

Chacra Chardonnay 2020 is an intense, dynamic and lively wine. With a great finesse and a superb minerality, it seduces with its naturally saline character, which is typical to the region.
