Pasaria ‘Land of the Glaciers’ Pinot Noir comes from Patagonia, where the cooler climate really suits this grape.
Originating in Burgundy, where Pinot Noir is known for producing elegant, finely balanced wines, it reflects its surroundings, and in Patagonia it takes on a fresher, more lifted style.
The name ‘Land of The Glaciers’ reflects the wider Patagonian landscape, shaped over time by glacial movement. These natural forces have influenced the soils and the climate of the region, which in turn play a role in the wine’s freshness and clarity.name reflects the wider Patagonian landscape, shaped over time by glacial movement.

The vineyards sit in a cooler, wind-influenced part of southern Argentina, with warm days and much cooler nights. This slower ripening helps build flavour while keeping the wine bright and balanced.
The grapes are handled gently to preserve their delicate character. Fermentation is carried out at controlled temperatures, with a light touch on extraction to avoid overworking the wine. Ageing is kept subtle, typically in older oak or neutral vessels, so the fruit can shine.
