Chacra Lunita Pinot Noir

Friday nights already make me feel like a million bucks, but Chacra’s Lunita Pinot Noir 2019 makes me feel like a billionaire. This wine is affordable and QUALITY. Straight from Argentinian old vines this 100% sustainable and 100% organic wine will make you feel like you feel like you’re the kind of person who takes private planes to Bora Bora, without the guilt of doing any environmental damage.

ORIGIN

Patagonia, Argentina

Grapes

100% Organic and biodynamically farmed PInot Noir

Tasting Notes

Lunita shows a beautiful floral nose with predominant notes of rose petals, its tannins are very well integrated, soft and silky, a typical trait of old ungrafted vineyard wines. Its structure is present without being overpowering and it displays a long finish with cherry notes and a bit of earthiness.

Food Match

Poultry, roast-beef, also stews and roasted vegetables, such as beets or other winter roots.
