AT THE EDGE OF THE IMPOSSIBLE
In Sarmiento, Chubut, Argentina, on the shores of lake musters, Otronia is born in a new wine region the southernmost in the world, and along with it a new terroir and a new vision.
The name Otronia comes from the old inhabitants who use to call the Lake Musters Otron.
The soil of lacustrine origin, with clays, fluvial and alluvial rocks, eolian sands, permanent winds, and a dry climate guarantee the production of disease-free organic grapes.
The cold temperatures of a place like Sarmiento allow us to achieve wines with remarkable naturalacidity, but also with a very special expression, purity, and aromatic intensity.
Chubut wines offer a new profile for Argentina, which is totally different from Mendoza.
Terroir and winery
Bodega Otronia is located in the heart of Patagonia at the 45’33 parallel, probably the last southern frontier to grow vines.
50 hectares of organic vineyards at an altitude of 258 masl.
The vineyard was planted in 2010 with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, Torrontés, Riesling, Merlot and Malbec.
At the winery they use concrete eggs and vats, stainless steel tanks, 2,500 and 5,000 liter foudres of unroasted French oak.
