Aged: 20% in concrete eggs, 15% in stainless steel tanks and 20% in used French oak barrels for 10 months

Ratings & Reviews:

98 Points, Rank #74 Top 100 Wines of the World 2025 - James Suckling:

"Aromas of honeysuckle, limes, green apples and a hint of cedar. It’s medium-bodied yet very dense and compact on the palate. It’s like a tight fist with the fruit and fine phenolics. Long finish. A structured and impressive young wine. Drink in two or three years." - James Suckling (Feb 2025)

96 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
Sourced from silt-dominated soils, the 2024 Chacra Chardonnay opens with an immediately inviting and complex bouquet melding marshmallow, saline and citrus notes with ever-increasing definition and harmony. The palate echoes with a deep, velvety, effortless richness perfectly counterbalanced by a chalky, lifted, tangy energy. It concludes with a multidimensional, bright, mineral-drenched finish further elongated by additional rounds of stony intensity without ever veering into sharp or angular territory. It's an impressive, crystalline and simply delicious expression of Patagonia. Drink 

Since Piero Incisa della Rocchetta acquired the vineyards now known as Bodega Chacra, the estate has established itself as Patagonia’s leading source of Pinot Noir. In collaboration with terroir consultant Pedro Parra, pruning specialist Marco Simonit and Jean-Marc Roulot, Chacra achieves a level of harmony, depth and transparency that is unique in the spectrum of the region’s offerings.

Centered around vineyards established in 1932, 1945 and 1955, now farmed organically and biodynamically, the estate spans 32 hectares and lies on an ancient riverbed of predominantly sandy soils with calcareous and silt components and small pockets of clay. Plant material is exclusively that of ungrafted, pre-phylloxera vines, replenished as necessary from a proprietary nursery. In addition to Pinot Noir, small amounts of Torrontés, Trousseau, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon are co-planted at an average of 5,000 vines per hectare.
