   The Patagonian Wind: Terroir You Can Feel

   Patagonian winds regularly exceed 50 knots. This extreme stress creates thicker-skinned Pinot Noir with deeper color, more tannins, and bolder flavors than any other region. To understand Patagonian wine, you must feel the wind. Visit during a windy day to experience what the vines endure.
