At the foot of Patagonia’s Andes and beside the Río Negro, Bodega Chacra is the rare estate marrying Burgundian ambition with southern-hemisphere purity. The “Treinta y Dos” bottling is their flagship red — drawn from the oldest ungrafted estate vines and shaped to age, yet fluid enough to drink young.

Fruit is hand-harvested from those 1932-planted vines, fermented spontaneously with native yeasts, then matured in concrete tanks and older French oak barrels to preserve clarity and terroir rather than oak imprint. 

Aromas of wild cherry, cranberry, rose petal and cedar rise from the glass. On the palate, red and black fruit meet fine tannins and vibrant acidity, carried by a mineral thread that speaks of wind-scoured soils and mountain air. The finish stretches with precision — elegant, poised and unmistakably Patagonian. A wine for reflection, pairing beautifully with wild salmon, roasted game or autumnal root-vegetable dishes.
