ABOUT THIS WINE
The Saurus Select Pinot Noir 2022 is a 100% Pinot Noir from Familia Schroeder de Maria y Adelina, located in the San Patricio del Chañar valley in Patagonia, Argentina. The region's unique climate, characterized by light stony soils, ample meltwater, intense sunlight, and significant diurnal temperature differences, contributes to the wine's distinct profile. The winery itself was constructed to utilize gravity flow for winemaking. The 'Saurus' line of wines, to which this bottling belongs, was inspired by the discovery of dinosaur bones during the winery's construction, reflecting the family's connection to the region's ancient past and their pioneering spirit in modern viticulture.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Saurus Select Pinot Noir 2022 is produced from 100% Pinot Noir grapes grown in Patagonia. Following harvest, approximately 40% of the wine undergoes aging for nine months in new French oak barrels, while the remainder is aged in stainless steel tanks. This approach balances oak integration with the preservation of fresh fruit character. The wine is then naturally stabilized and bottled unfiltered, which may result in the presence of precipitates.
