Overview

Sourcing Pinot Noir from the family’s high-altitude vineyards in the mountains of Patagonia, the grapes are harvested by hand and fermented whole cluster in open top stainless steel tanks. The consistently windy conditions require poplar tree windbreaks on all sides of each block and leads to thick-skinned berries with deep color and rich aromatics. The Alto Limay Pinot Noir is a prime example of high-altitude pinot noir at its best – concentrated, yet electric and precise.¬
