2024 Bodega Chacra - Pinot Noir Patagonia Barda (750ml)

From Patagonia’s Río Negro Valley, the 2024 Bodega Chacra Pinot Noir, Barda (750ml), delivers a bright, light-footed expression that still carries depth and finesse. This wine embodies a natural, purer side of Pinot Noir—organic and biodynamically farmed, fermented with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks, and bottled unfiltered and unfined with less than 40ppm of sulfur.

Tasting notes

Elegant, perfumed, and vivid, with a lively, crunchy freshness that keeps the palate energized. Aromas weave cherry, cranberry, and strawberry with a delicate hint of peaches, while a radiantly floral bouquet sits above subtle smoky, earthy accents. On the palate, the wine remains silky and suave, finishing with a balanced, persistent finish that lingers thoughtfully.

Terroir, winemaking, and style

Chacra cultivates some of the oldest ungrafted Pinot Noir vines in the world, planted in 1932 in the Patagonian bed of the Río Negro. This Barda bottling is a study in elegance and depth, shaped in collaboration with noted terroir experts and Burgundy influence. The wine is fermentation with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks, unfiltered and unfined, highlighting purity and a transparent sense of place.

Awards and character

Lauded by critics, the 2024 Barda has drawn notable praise, including 94 Points from James Suckling and 92 Points from Wine Advocate for its introduction to the Chacra range—radiant, red-fruited, and effortlessly drinkable. Described as light, bright, and hauntingly Burgundian in character, yet unmistakably Patagonian, it stands out in the Pinot Noir landscape.

Why this bottle matters

Founded by Piero Incisa della Rocchetta—a grandson of Sassicaia’s creator—Bodega Chacra builds wines that transcend typical New World Pinot Noir. The Barda embodies restrained, precise winemaking, a commitment to terroir, and a natural wine profile that appeals to both serious collectors and everyday enthusiasts.
