The 2010 Barda comes from a very cold vintage that also had hail. They harvested earlier than previously and they realized the wine was not green. The result is a wine around 12% alcohol that is bright ruby-colored and has a nose of wild berries and roses that is quite subtle and light with a fresh palate. It is already quite polished by the time in bottle (the wine is always bottled around one year after the harvest). The grapes were harvested February 15-25. Light and polished, this is still a quite primary wine and it should drink well for a few more years. Some 67,000 bottles per vintage.

Light, offering pretty cinnamon, tea and lightly mulled cherry fruit aromas and flavors, backed by a twinge of briar on the finish. Opens slowly in the glass to show a touch more flesh, too
Producer
Bodega Chacra
The finest Pinot Noir in South America comes from Río Negro’s most influential winery, Bodega Chacra. The Patagonian estate is devoted to producing three strands of Pinot Noir – Barda, Cincuenta y Cinco and Treinta y Tres - on their 24-hectare valley plot. Proprietor, Piero Incisa della Rocchetta, acquired this property in 2004, leaving his multigenerational Italian winemaking family for uncharted territory. With aims to create the world’s best Pinot Noir, Piero Incisa settled in the Río Negro Valley. Today, the estate instills biodynamic and organic farming practices across their sparse gravel and alluvial soils, resulting in intense fruit forward wines, which have become a signature in their Argentinian-styled Pinot Noirs.
