Barda is made from fruit from a 20-year-old vineyard, and also receives fruit from the “Treinta y Dos” and “Cincuenta y Cinco” vineyards. The fruit was harvested by hand and no automated mechanization was used at any stage of the production process. The grapes were hand destemmed and sorted before moving to small cement tanks for maceration with occasional punch-downs to maximize extraction of color, fruit and tannins. The grapes were fermented with natural yeasts, and the wine was matured in oak barrels before bottling.

| Review |
| Bodega Chacra Barda Pinot Noir 2010 is made using 100% Pinot Noir. Aged for 12 months in French Oak barrels. At a classic ALC 12.8% volume, this wine reminds me of Burgundy. Soft, elegant nuances of red berries, rose petals and a suave earthiness open and enticing bouquet of aromatics. Elegantly structured on the palate with a seamless finish, Barda Pinot Noir is classic Burgundian interpretation in Patagonia! |
| Food pairing |
| Pairs well with roast beef, salmon, swordfish and pastas with meat or seafood sauces. |
