A Legacy Born at the End of the World

Bodega del Fin del Mundo, translating to "Winery of the End of the World," resides in Neuquén, Argentina, nestled amidst the dramatic landscapes of Patagonia. Founded in 1999, this pioneering winery embraced the region's unique challenges – a cold, dry climate and strong winds. Through perseverance and innovation, they established flourishing vineyards irrigated by a 20-kilometre canal and protected by windbreaks. Today, Bodega del Fin del Mundo stands as a testament to human ingenuity, producing exceptional wines that capture the essence of Patagonia.

A Blend of Finesse and Vibrancy

The Extra Brut is a captivating blend of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay grapes. The dominance of Pinot Noir lends a touch of complexity and structure, while the Chardonnay adds a touch of elegance and finesse. Aged for 12 months on lees using the traditional Charmat method, this sparkling wine develops a delightful effervescence and richness.

Unveiling the Sensory Experience

Visual: The first impression is a brilliant straw colour with coppery highlights. As you swirl the wine in the glass, a stream of fine, persistent bubbles forms a captivating crown.

Aroma: Delicate fragrances of white flowers, such as jasmine and honeysuckle, mingle with refreshing citrus notes of grapefruit and lemon. Hints of toasted bread add a touch of complexity, hinting at the wine's time spent ageing on lees.

Palate: The first sip is a burst of freshness, thanks to the lively acidity characteristic of Patagonian wines. The dominant Pinot Noir grape imparts a delightful structure, while the Chardonnay adds a touch of creaminess. Flavours of citrus and white flowers from the nose are reflected on the palate, interwoven with subtle hints of brioche and toast. The fine, persistent bubbles create a delightful dance on the tongue, adding a touch of weightlessness to the overall experience.
