Antarctic Wind Tasting

Feel the Terroir

Taste wine outdoors while Antarctic wind whips across the steppe. The tasting room has floor-to-ceiling windows facing the wind-battered vines. You will understand viscerally why this wine tastes the way it does - tight, mineral, with acidity that could cut glass. The winemaker will explain how they harvest in 2-hour windows between wind gusts. Some vintages, entire blocks are lost.

Insider tips

  • Bring warm layers even in summer - the wind chill is real

  • Ask about the years they lost production to weather

  • Their Gewurztraminer is unexpected - the cold concentrates aromatics

  • The view of Lago Musters is spectacular on clear days
