June 20th: Tasting Lunch – Bodega Chacra: Patagonia’s Gem

Thursday 20th June 2024 12pm to 3pm, Wine Tasting & Lunch at Petersham Nurseries, Church Lane, Richmond TW10 7AG

Patagonia may not look like the obvious choice to grow grapes, however, this dry climate with warm days and cool nights has proved particularly well suited to produce elegant wines. Piero Incisa della Rocchetta, grandson of Sassicaia's creator, saw the potential of the Mainque area and founded Chacra in 2003. Helped by fantastic Burgundian winemaker Marc Roulot, Piero produces pure, savoury and elegant Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

Due to the nature of the environment, the vines are naturally strong and need minimal intervention resulting in vibrant wines. All wines are biodynamic and have a natural acidity. Enjoyable in their youth they can also age gracefully and have been scoring consistently high. Pure, savoury and elegant, they are a serious contender for Burgundy.

Chacra’s answer to fine Chablis. – James Suckling
Gobsmacking! – Robert Parker

The lunch will take place in our charming garden rooms at Petersham Nurseries. Tariq Khan, our Private Sales Manager and ex Sommelier at The Fat Duck, will take you through Piero’s fantastic wines which will be carefully paired with a delightful menu crafted by our executive chef.
