Barda is the Chacra you actually open on a Tuesday. Piero Incisa della Rocchetta — grandson of the man who planted Cabernet in Tuscany and founded Sassicaia — came to the Patagonian desert of Río Negro chasing old, abandoned, ungrafted Pinot Noir, and while his flagship reds come from vines planted in 1932 and 1955, Barda is drawn from the estate's youngest plantings, which are themselves around thirty years old. Hot days, cold nights, relentless wind, almost no rain, and a riverbed of sand and pebbles: it should not work for Pinot Noir, and it does. The farming is organic and biodynamic, extraction is deliberately light, alcohol sits low, and the wine sees concrete and mostly older French oak so the fruit stays bright. Serve it with a real chill — this is one of the best warm-weather reds we know.

More about Chacra

Jean Marc Roulot was at dinner at Guillaume d’Angerville’s place with their friend Piero, the founder of Argentina's culty Chacra winery. Piero mentioned, while discussing his Patagonian terroir, his desire to try making a white cuvée in Argentina.

Now, Roulot is one of the best Chardonnay growers on the planet, so he’d be a good guy to chat up about making white wines of terroir. But he doesn’t seem a likely candidate to jet off to Patagonia and start making Argentinian Chardonnay.

But Piero had found a unique terroir in Patagonia and Roulot was intrigued. Intrigued enough to propose working with him, and when Roulot visited he found, in his words, a “magical place” where “nature is so strong.” This was an opportunity to do something new: work with a friend, “not trying to make a copy of Burgundy in Argentina—totally different. Trying to produce a good Chardonnay in Argentina.”

And that’s what they’ve done. Piero’s magical terroir and Roulot’s Chardonnay touch come together to make an amazing, totally new white wine. The Chacra Mainque Chardonnay comes from three plots with sand over mineral soils with river rocks and limestone. Desert-like weather (hot days, cold nights) make ripe fruit with good acidity.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast or grilled salmon, charcuterie, mushroom pizza, duck tacos, or a simple herbed roast chicken. Good with a chill alongside anything off the grill.

Tasting Profile

Red plum, raspberry, and a little dried herb and forest floor. Light- to medium-bodied and juicy, with fresh acidity, soft, fine tannins, and a clean, savory finish. Easy to drink now.
