Antarctic Wind Tasting

At 45.33°S on Patagonia's windiest steppe, Otronia's 50-hectare vineyard hits 100km/h Antarctic gusts that keep disease away—and made world-class Pinot Noir at Earth's bottom.

What to do there

TastingAntarctic Wind TastingTaste 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.
