Familia Schroeder Saurus Select Pinot Noir Patagonia

Patagonia, Argentina

From volcanic basalt soils in the Neuquén River valley — Pinot Noir grown in conditions of desert aridity, strong winds, and extreme diurnal temperature variation (20°C+). The result is a Pinot Noir of surprising elegance and freshness: transparent ruby, with fresh cherry, red rose, subtle earth, and a volcanic mineral character that sets it apart from warmer-climate examples. One of South America's most approachable and food-versatile Pinot Noirs.

Pairing intelligence

• main: Patagonian lamb asado with Patagonian Pinot Noir — the region's iconic open-air cooking tradition with its most approachable wine. The wine's freshness cuts through lamb fat while its mineral depth bridges the salsa criolla.
• main: The region's freshwater fish with its most versatile red wine — the Pinot Noir's mineral freshness and light body are the ideal complement to trout. The classical French sauce preparation bridges the wine's European variety heritage.
• starter: Preserved river fish with Patagonian Pinot — the wine's mineral freshness and fruit cut through the richness of rillettes. Cornichons echo its acidity while rye provides a nutty, earthy base.
• cheese: The wine's red fruit and mineral freshness bridge to aged goat's milk cheese. Membrillo echoes its cherry fruit character while the cheese's tang complements its light tannin.
