Otronia: The wild side of wine

From the world's southernmost winery, Otronia's wind-swept Patagonian vineyards deliver cool-climate wines that showcase remarkable freshness, precision and character.

Otronia: The wild side of wine

Deep in southern Patagonia, where relentless winds, extreme cold and long summer days create one of Argentina’s most unusual wine-growing environments, Otronia is turning remoteness to its advantage – producing world class, cool-climate wines of remarkable freshness, precision and character.

If you take the night bus from Argentina’s wine capital, Mendoza, to Neuquén in northern Patagonia, you’ll arrive about 13 hours later, hopefully having managed a decent night’s sleep. Travel roughly another 1,100 kilometres south and you’ll reach Sarmiento, Chubut, deep in Patagonia and a very long way from Mendoza’s sun-drenched vineyards. At 45°33′00″S, you eventually reach Bodega Otronia.

'This is fast becoming one of the best terroirs in South America for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.' Amanda Barnes MW, author of The South American Wine Guide

This is wine country, but not quite as you know it. 'The environment here is incredibly hostile, with very little rainfall, bitterly cold temperatures, year-round frost risk and blustery winds of up to 110km per hour,' says wine buyer Lucy Perbellini, responsible for bringing these wines into the UK via Liberty Wines. 'Incredibly these harsh conditions give rise to wines of supreme elegance.'

South American wine expert and author Amanda Barnes agrees: 'Otronia is the southernmost winery in the world, and the wines reflect that cool but sunny Patagonian climate: wines with intensely expressive fruit, beautiful concentration and extremely refreshing acidity. Patagonia, and particularly southern Patagonia, is known for its incredible landscapes, glaciers and mountains, but it represents a new direction for Argentine wine and one of the most exciting.'

The wind factor

Lifestyle image and landscape

The first thing you notice in this part of the world is the wind. It is less a feature of the landscape than a permanent presence, buffeting the vines and helping produce grapes with intense flavour.

Then there is the cold. Compared with Mendoza – and even northern Patagonia – Otronia’s climate is markedly cooler, extending the ripening season and influencing the character of the grapes. Malbec takes longer to mature and emerges with a fresher, more restrained personality, while Pinot Noir and Chardonnay thrive in these cooler conditions.

Otronia combines low rainfall, abundant sunshine, persistent winds and dramatic day-to-night temperature swings that can reach 20°C. Warm days allow the grapes to ripen, while cool nights slow the process and help preserve natural acidity. In an era when rising temperatures are challenging established wine regions, this natural freshness is increasingly precious.

Reading the land

Then there is the ground itself. On the shores of Lake Musters, Otronia’s vineyards sit on a complex mix of lacustrine clays, fluvial and alluvial stones and wind-blown sands – the geological legacy of a landscape shaped by water, wind and time. Together with the extreme climate, these soils help produce wines marked by freshness and aromatic intensity.

Being organic is central to Otronia’s vineyards, which are managed with precise observation, detailed soil mapping and techniques adapted to the extremes of southern Patagonia. Poplar trees are planted around the vineyards to provide natural wind protection, while the team has even developed ways of using ice to help shield the vines and grapes from damaging frost.

'The style of our wines is largely defined by the natural acidity the berry retains' explains Otronia winemaker Guido Malacalza. 'Our location shapes a growing season that is inherently slow and late, driven by the constant presence of wind, high evapotranspiration and summer days with up to 17 hours of sunlight.'

The human touch

The same precision continues in the cellar, under the direction of Malacalza together with technical director Franck Noguiez and international consultant Alberto Antonini. Individual plots are harvested and then vinified separately in concrete eggs, un-toasted French oak foudres and oak barrels. The result is a style that offers a distinctly different expression of Argentine wine: freshness, aromatic intensity, tension and elegance are the hallmarks rather than weight and concentration.

The 45 Rugientes Pinot Noir is a particularly persuasive example, combining the perfume and delicacy of Pinot Noir with the taut structure of a genuinely cool-climate wine.

'This is fast becoming one of the best terroirs in South America for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, but also aromatic white varieties, and Otronia offers some very sophisticated wines for the price,' confirms Barnes.

But perhaps where Otronia becomes particularly interesting, in a place like the UK, is that Patagonia gives sommeliers something beyond another unfamiliar label. 'Patagonia gives a sommelier a story that is easy to tell at the table: extreme south, wind, desert, organic fruit, and wines with more freshness than most of Mendoza,' says Salvatore Russo, hospitality head honcho at The Hippodrome. 'On a London list it fills the gap between the big Malbecs everyone knows and the cooler reds people are asking for now. Indeed, it sells itself once you say "the last vineyard before Antarctica".'

It is a neat full stop on Otronia’s appeal: wines from a part of Argentina that feels almost impossibly remote, yet whose character in the glass is immediate – fresh, distinctive and unmistakably of its place.

Three Otronia wines

45 Rugientes Pinot Noir: Named for the extreme 45th parallel and the Rugientes – 'roaring winds' –  this Pinot Noir is a masterclass in freshness, delicacy and aromatic complexity rather than weight or overt fruit. The cooler climate gives it a more restrained, savoury expression than warmer-climate examples, with lively natural acidity balanced by phenolic ripeness. The nose offers subtle cherry and wild strawberry aromas alongside hints of black pepper and cinnamon. On the palate, the fruit remains understated, the texture light and poised, while juicy acidity drives through to a long, precise finish. 

45 Rugientes Corte de Blancas: This wine is made from Chardonnay (40%), Gewürztraminer (30%) and Pinot Gris (30%), all fermented separately in stainless steel and concrete eggs and aged, once blended, in French oak barrels and concrete vats for 20-22 months. Tropical fruit, citrus peel and jasmine lead into a decidedly Burgundian palate, exuberant yet fresh, with Chardonnay at its core and the more exotic floral character adding lift. Delicate minerality and excellent acidity bring balance and length.

45 Rugientes Merlot: Produced in very small quantities, this 100% Merlot comes from a single hectare on Plot 8 of the Paico vineyard, where sandy soils over lake-origin clay give the wine its distinctive character. Rounded and approachable, it combines supple fruit with fine, polished tannins and a fresh, elegant profile. A beautifully balanced Merlot with both finesse and charm.

The best restaurants to try these wines by-the-glass

A growing number of UK restaurants are now pouring Otronia's Patagonian wines by the glass. From steakhouses to Michelin-starred dining rooms, here are the best places to try them, with tips on what to order:

Alfonsina, Farringdon

counter seating at a bar, and someone eating a plate of food

What: Alfonsina strips Latin American cooking back to its boldest, most essential form at this brutalist dining room – think concrete and industrial touches – that mirrors the food: honest and unfussy but full of character. Drawing on traditions from Argentina, Mexico, Brazil and Peru, the cooking feels both rooted and inventive. The open kitchen adds theatre, while warm, attentive service softens the minimalist surroundings. The result is a soulful, contemporary restaurant that lets great ingredients and confident technique do the talking. 

Menu options: Ceviche clásico, ceviche picante, sea trout tiradito, jalea real, stone bass
Wine: 45 Rugientes Corte de Blancas, Otronia, Chubut, Patagonia
Pairing: The ceviche clásico, sea trout tiradito and stone bass offer particularly natural pairings for 45 Rugientes Corte de Blancas. The wine’s bright acidity and fresh citrus character complement the delicate fish and work especially well with the sharp, refreshing flavours of ceviche. Its mineral freshness also enhances the natural sweetness of the seafood, while providing a cooling counterpoint to the chilli in the ceviche picante. While its elegant texture makes it equally well suited to the delicate flavours of the sea trout and stone bass.

Menu options: Pork chop, chicken yakicuchos, The Good Shepherd, fillet, grilled octopus
Wine: 45 Rugientes Pinot Noir, Otronia, Chubut, Patagonia
Pairing: The pork chop, chicken yakicuchos and grilled octopus are perhaps the standout matches for the 45 Rugientes Pinot Noir. The wine’s bright red-fruit character and lively acidity complement the savoury richness of the pork chop, while its elegant structure works well with the lighter, smoky flavours of the chicken. Alongside the grilled octopus, the Pinot’s freshness balances the dish’s charred, savoury character. Its subtle earthy notes always complement grilled and smoky flavours beautifully.

Menu options: Beef yakicuchos, ribeye, rump, carne picante empanada
Wine: 45 Rugientes Merlot, Otronia, Chubut, Patagonia
Pairing: The rich, savoury character of the beef dishes makes them particularly well suited to 45 Rugientes Merlot. Beef yakicuchos and ribeye would be especially strong pairings, with the wine’s ripe dark-fruit flavours complementing the meat while its acidity balances the richness. Its gentle spice and supple tannins also work well with the grilled, smoky character of the beef, while the carne picante empanada offers another good match, with the merlot’s fruit helping to balance the spice.

Chimichurris, Southwark

What: Proper Argentine parrilla washed up on Southwark Bridge Road, Chimichurris oozes the warm, convivial ‘criollo’ of a characterful neighbourhood favourite. It works a treat! Friendly staff and a focal charcoal grill provide the beating heart of a room, which buzzes with down-to-earth energy, particularly later in the week. With its vibrant atmosphere, sizzling aromas and a cellar packed with choice Argentine wine and native beer, what’s not to like?

Seafood Dish: Grilled octopus with stuffed polenta, served with smoked paprika and salsa criolla
Wine: 45 Rugientes Pinot Noir, Otronia, Chubut, Patagonia
Pairing: The smoky, charred character of the grilled octopus brings out the bright, juicy fruit in the 45 Rugientes Pinot Noir. Its red berry flavours complement the sweetness of the octopus, at the same time that its fresh acidity cuts through the richness of the stuffed polenta. Subtle earthy and savoury notes in the Pinot Noir echo the smoked paprika, while its light body balances with the delicate texture of the seafood, allowing the latter to shine. The vibrant salsa criolla adds freshness and zip to the dish, while reemphasising the wine’s lively character. It’s a study in balance.

Meat Dish: Argentine rib eye
Wine: 45 Rugientes Pinot Noir, Otronia, Chubut, Patagonia
Pairing: The rich, juicy character of Argentine rib eye brings out the vibrant fruit and savoury depth of the 45 Rugientes Pinot Noir. Its bright red-berry flavours provide a fresh counterpoint to the richness of the beef, but it is the racy acidity that really carries the day cutting through the meat’s marbling and keeps the palate fresh. Subtle earthy and spicy notes complement the charred, savoury flavours of the meat, while the wine’s elegant structure allows the quality and tenderness of the rib eye to shine.

CORD by Le Cordon Bleu, City of London

CORD kitchen and fine dining dish

What: Part restaurant and part culinary playground, oozing sassy savoir faire. Housed on Fleet Street, CORD by Le Cordon Bleu combines a sophisticated 90-cover dining room with a café and the London outpost of the legendary Parisian cooking school. Blues, gold accents and statement lighting give the space a contemporary polish, while the culinary school connection adds a pleasing sense of progressive theatre. It’s smart without feeling stuffy, making it just as suited to a business lunch or special occasion, as well as simpler, conspiratorial get-togethers.

Dish: Scallop tartare with caviar, kafir lime, white chocolate and herb oil
Wine: 45 Rugientes Corte de Blancas, Otronia, Chubut, Patagonia
Pairing: Try pairing the scallop tartare with caviar, kafir lime, white chocolate and herb oil with the 45 Rugientes Corte de Blancas. The lifted freshness in the wine thanks to the high elevation balances well with the white chocolate sauce and further amplifies the natural sweetness of the scallops, while the floral notes from the unique blend of Riesling and Gewurztraminer echoes the herbal oil.

Heliot Steak House, Leicester Square

people cheersing red wine and eating steak, casino interiors

What: Perched above the Hippodrome’s glittering casino floor, Heliot Steak House turns dinner into a full-blown West End experience. The setting is lively, theatrical and grown-up. It’s a flagship for casino dining, but doesn't deserve to be boxed as such. Inside, it’s a polished but relaxed affair, making it equally suited to a celebratory night out as a pre-theatre meal. The real draw, however, is the combination of prime steaks, high quality wines and attentive service, wrapped in a hedonistic West End buzz.

Dish: Argentine grass-fed ribeye, cooked over the grill 
Wine: 45 Rugientes Merlot, Otronia, Chubut, Patagonia
Pairing: 'Ribeye is the cut we sell most at Heliot. It's well marbled, so it needs a red with real freshness, not just weight,' says Hospitality Director Salvo Russo. 'I was lucky enough to visit the region. What struck me was the remoteness, the way of life down there, and the hot days and cold nights. I had never felt anything like it. You taste that in the glass. The vines sit at the 45th parallel, about as far south as they go, in wind and dry desert soil. That gives the Merlot bright red fruit, a peppery, paprika edge and acidity that cuts straight through a dish’s fat. There's none of the heaviness people expect from Merlot. And Patagonian wine next to Argentine beef feels right. Same country, one plate.'
Also on offer by the glass: 45 Rugientes Pinot Noir

Dish: Hamachi ceviche, lime, ginger and amba sauce
Wine: 45 Rugientes Corte de Blancas
Pairing: The elegant and not over-limey richness of hamachi is a harmonious match with the bright, mineral freshness of the Corte de Blancas. It doesn’t challenge the acidity of the ceviche - it wraps itself around it and deals easily with the sharpness of the lime and helps refresh the palate, while its citrus and stone-fruit notes echo the ceviche’s vibrant flavours. The wine’s freshness also provides a cooling counterpoint to the aromatic ginger and the sweet, tangy character of the amba sauce, creating a balanced synergy that carries right through to an elegant, fresh finish.

Home at Penarth, Cardiff

a chef putting the final touches on a dish, and pouring a sauce over another dish

What: Home at Penarth takes the idea of a family restaurant rather literally. Behind heavy curtains and a mysterious doorbell lies a small, dark and intimate dining room, where focused lighting puts the open kitchen centre stage. It feels theatrical without being stuffy, with James Sommerin and daughter Georgia cooking and chatting with guests. The surprise menu only adds to the sense of occasion, while warm, personal service makes the whole experience feel remarkably homely. Michelin-starred fine dining, perhaps, but with the atmosphere of being in someone’s home.

Dish: Partridge with different textures of kale, parsnip, black garlic and hazelnut
Wine: 45 Rugientes Pinot Noir, Otronia, Chubut, Patagonia
Pairing: As a pairing, this wine and partridge totally works. The wine allows the sweetness in the partridge to come through, without ever overpowering it. Its crisp, cool-climate acidity cuts right through the earthy, sweet parsnip and balances the bitter, crunchy textures of the kale. Its bright red fruit profile lifts the delicate, lean game meat, while its subtle forest floor and spicy undertones and fine-grained tannins engage with the rich, savoury depth of black garlic and the toasted warmth of hazelnut. It’s an effortless match. A classic pairing.

Lore of the Land, Fitzrovia

cosy, rustic interiors, and a chef putting the finishing touches on a dish

What: Bang in the heart of Fitzrovia, Lore of the Land is the kind of pub that knows exactly what it wants to be: cosy, characterful and just a little bit clever. Spread across three floors, it shifts effortlessly from convivial drinking den to smart dining room with a creative, accomplished kitchen. Dark woods and rich colours set the mood, while globe-trotting, fire-led cooking injects the fun, from coal-roasted cauliflower to chicken liver parfait. Add boutique wines, Guy Ritchie beers and a signature doughnut, and you’ve got pub conviviality on steroids.

Dish: Miso-Poached Pollock, Celeriac, Charred & Pickled Leeks, Smoked Almonds
Wine: 45 Rugientes Corte de Blancas, Otronia, Chubut, Patagonia
Pairing: What an explosive pairing! The aromatic top notes of the wine stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the savoury umami punch of the miso broth. The wine’s weightier mouthfeel and subtle, creamy complexity, provided by the Chardonnay and Pinot Gris, perfectly bridges the gap with the comforting texture of the celeriac, while the acidity introduced by the pickled leeks requires a complementing acidity found in the Corte de Blancas. The wine’s mineral, bone-dry finish provides a crisp backdrop, which brings outs the earthy char of the leeks and nutty crunch of the smoked almonds and balances their tangy, smoky flavours.

MAAI by Nikita, Clapham

Maai dishes on table

What: Family is very much on the menu at MAAI by Nikita, where Great British Menu winner Nikita Pathakji brings her bold, modern cooking to a bright, beautifully styled dining room - think French panelling, walnut and deep-blue banquettes alongside family photos, trophies and cookbooks. The food is just as expressive: globe-trotting flavours, clever twists and seriously polished presentation, from seared halibut with a Malaysian-inspired fish curry to sea bream with kalamansi ponzu and green apple. Add cocktails from Nikita’s sister and a welcome from her mother, and this is a family affair with serious star power.

Dish: Chalk Stream trout, pickled cucumber, spring onions
Wine: 45 Rugientes Corte de Blancas, Otronia, Chubut, Patagonia
Pairing: The delicate richness of Chalk Stream trout pairs beautifully with the bright, mineral freshness of the wine, whose clean acidity cuts through the richness of the cured fish, while stone fruit and citrus-forward notes enhance the trout’s natural sweetness. The wine’s freshness also handles the cooling acidity of the pickled cucumber really nicely, while its clean, vibrant character provides a refreshing counterpoint to the aromatic spice of the Sichuan curing and sharpness of the spring onions.

Sucre, Soho

elegant restaurant interiors and a selection of dishes on a table

What: Glamorous, theatrical and just a tad over the top, but never taking itself too seriously, Sucre makes a grand first statement with chandeliers crafted from upside-down glass decanters. It’s a dining room that could be just a touch too showy, but thankfully the atmosphere is anything but stuffy. Confident, friendly staff and an animated open kitchen keep things warm and welcoming, but it’s the wood-fired cooking that’s the star, turning out punchy Latin American dishes, matched by serious cocktails and knowledgeable wine service. Make an occasion of it! 

Dish: Cecina, smoked pork belly, coppa 
Wine: 45 Rugientes Pinot Noir, Otronia, Chubut, Patagonia
Pairing (available 12 October - 15 November): This rich intensely savoury dish is a masterclass in balancing contrasting textures, fats and complex flavours. The smoky, savoury character of the cured meats and smoked pork belly pairs naturally with the bright red-fruit character of the Pinot Noir. The wine’s brisk, linear acidity cuts through the melting fat of the pork belly and the buttery marbling of the cured pork, while its subtle earthy, forest floor and spicy notes make a savoury connection with the dish’s smoky depth. The wine’s relatively light, taut structure and fine-tannined softness allows the delicate flavours of the charcuterie to shine, while its juicy fruit adds freshness, balance and contrast.

Tender, Manchester

a steak dish on a marple-topped table

What: Housed beneath the spectacular domed ceiling of Manchester’s Stock Exchange Hotel, Tender is an appropriately grand stage for two-Michelin-starred chef Niall Keating. Yet the mood is more relaxed than reverential, despite polished service and live music. The menu takes comforting brasserie classics and gives them a contemporary spin. Think fully-flavoured pot roast cauliflower with yeast, pomegranate and sesame, followed by poached ballotine of dover soul concealing a centre of scallop mousse, concluding with jam cinnaroll with creme anglaise. For a nightcap, the hotel’s atmospheric speakeasy bar Sterling steals the show.

Dish: Rabbit dumplings, baby turnips, savoy cabbage, confit leg, consommé
Wine: 45 Rugientes Pinot Noir, Otronia, Chubut, Patagonia
Pairing: This deliciously structured wine perfectly matches this complex rabbit dish. Its cool-climate profile offers vibrant acidity and velvety tannins that respect the delicate dumpling while cutting through the rich confit leg. Partial whole-cluster fermentation provides earthy, savoury undertones of dried herbs and red berries, creating an ideal flavour bridge to the umami-rich consommé and cabbage. Finally, its stony minerality complements the peppery baby turnips, ensuring a balanced, refreshed palate with every bite.

Zoilo, Marylebone

cosy wine bar interiors

What: Incongruously hidden beside a barber shop on a quiet Marylebone street, Zoilo feels like a little Buenos Aires bolt from the blue. Dark walls, red banquettes, wood panelling, tiled floors and white linen create an intimate, old-school atmosphere that reviewers repeatedly describe as romantic and welcoming. Chef-owner Diego Jacquet keeps the cooking rooted in Argentina while bringing in British seasonal ingredients, with Argentine wines getting equal billing. It’s compact, calm and decidedly grown-up – somewhere for candlelit dates, serious steaks and lingering over a bottle. In short, a small restaurant with considerably more character than its discreet entrance suggests.

Starter: Hamachi ceviche, ‘Aji Amarillo’, avocado, pickled kohlrabi and coriander 
Main Course: Cornish Sea Bass, smoked eel beurre blanc, grilled leeks, chives
Wine: Otronia 45 Rugientes Corte de Blancas 2021, Otronia, Chubut, Patagonia
Pairing: 'This extreme-latitude pairing matches the intense, wind-swept terroir of Patagonia's Otronia 45 Rugientes Corte de Blancas with Zoilo's ocean-focused specials' says chef-owner Diego Jacquet. 'The hamachi ceviche’s vibrant ají amarillo (chilli pepper) and pickled kohlrabi mirror the wine’s razor-sharp Riesling acidity and tropical brightness. For the main, the rich, unctuous Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris mid-palate cut seamlessly through the decadent smoked eel beurre blanc delicately draping the Cornish sea bass, elevating the fish without ever overpowering it.'

Other restaurants offering 45 Rugientes wines by the glass

From lively food halls to polished Mayfair dining rooms, plenty of other venues are also offering the chance to taste the wind-swept freshness of 45 Rugientes by the glass. Discover more places to try it below:

Arbour: Fresh from Olympia’s spectacular 2026 transformation, Arbour is less traditional restaurant and more all-day social hub – a vast food hall beneath the site’s new rooftop canopy. Across a vast pampas of space, four concepts cover everything from gourmet fried chicken and farm-to-fork food to smash burgers and coffee, while a huge central bar keeps the drinks flowing. A bottle of the 45 Rugientes Corte de Blancas would slip down particularly well with a red miso and lime roast salmon or a Zhoug chicken and whipped tahini dish (from The Rambler). The salmon is the pick, with the wine’s freshness complementing the richness of the fish and its citrus, saline character complementing the lime and savoury miso. Even if you’re not going for an Olympia gig, this bright and buzzy gourmand’s playground is worth a visit.

Mazarine: Overlooking Hanover Square, this polished slice of coastal France brings contemporary, open-plan dining to the heart of Mayfair in a room that feels smart without being stiff, with the bar and kitchen pass adding a lively focal point. Seafood takes centre stage, while attentive service and a well-chosen wine list complete the pretty picture. It’s stylish, sophisticated but comfortable whatever the occasion.

Paladar: Latin America lands in Elephant and Castle via Paladar, a colourful, exuberant neighbourhood gem that comes as a wonderful, poncho-popping surprise. Bold artwork and eclectic details enliven the backdrop, while the covered courtyard adds personality with fairy lights, rattan lamps and hanging greenery. The cooking is equally vibrant, spanning Latin American flavours with plenty of punch, from crispy pork belly arepas to perfectly grilled lamb. Down a glass of the 45 Rugientes Pinot Noir with a cochinita pibil, corn tortillas, roasted pineapple & habanero chilli jam. The slow-cooked pork’s rich, savoury character draws out the wine’s juicy red-fruit profile, while its freshness helps balance the richness of the meat. The wine’s gentle earthy and spicy notes also complement the spicy, smoky flavours of the dish.

The Palm House: Miami-meets-Cuba at this tropical escape in Victoria, all palms, rattan and colourful, cabana-style glamour. Spread across two floors, it encourages drinking and dancing, with DJs, bottomless brunches, cocktails and late-night energy, and a fine roster of dishes. Get in the party mood with a glass of 45 Rugientes Corte de Blancas that will dance with the multiple flavours of a blackened Cajun swordfish supported by chickpea, lentil, tomato and avocado salad. We also matched the fun with a miso and lime roast salmon with steamed bok choy.

University Arms - Parker's Tavern: Parker’s Tavern is quintessential Cambridge: grand, collegiate and just a little showy. Overlooking Parker’s Piece, this winsome eatery takes the atmosphere of an old university dining hall and polishes it up, rounding it off with large windows, globe chandeliers and period character. Occasional jazz performances add a further layer. The food is modern British and traditional in spirit. A glass of the 45 Rugientes Corte de Blancas goes down well with a relatively mild British Raj paneer curry or roasted salmon served with mussels, tiger prawns, baby potatoes and bouillabaisse sauce. The wine’s fresh acidity, citrus and mineral character works particularly well with the seafood, while its freshness will cut through the richness of the salmon and sauce.

Wandering Grapes: Wandering Grapes brings a dash of European romance to Camden’s frenetic Inverness Street. This intimate owner-run gem pairs a moody, colourful hideaway vibe with the soul of a neighbourhood institution that comes alive as the week progresses. Part bar, part wine shop, it champions low-intervention producers on a list that starts in France and then takes flight. Mediterranean small plates and premium charcuterie and cheese boards provide the perfect, sharing-style excuse to linger and keep exploring the bottles, Patagonia included.
