Introduction

For many oenophiles, a journey to Chubut in Patagonia represents a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. It is home to Argentina’s most southerly and isolated wine region – a place of awe-inspiring beauty. Its cultural heritage, too, is fascinating and unique: Welsh migrants arrived in the 19th century, seeking a better life in the lower Chubut Valley and managing to coexist peacefully with the native Tehuelche. Émigrés from Germany and the UK joined them over time, creating a vibrant melting pot at the heart of Patagonia.

Chubut’s wine history, though modest, is a story of potential and promise. Bodega Otronia, founded in 2010 on the shores of Lake Musters, stands as Chubut’s most significant producer in terms of volume and international recognition. Otronia’s success demonstrates that southern Patagonia can produce beautifully expressive red and white wines by harnessing the region’s cool climate and superior soils. The potential for further growth and development is indeed very exciting.
