The pinnacle of precision. The purest expression of Patagonia.
From a land of extremes comes a wine of absolute harmony. In the far reaches of Patagonia, where cold winds sweep across open plains and the Andes glisten on the horizon, lies the Araucana vineyard — a place defined by resilience. Here, in one small parcel of land, vines cling to quartz-rich soils and carbonate dust, enduring fierce gusts and sun-drenched days that give way to piercingly cool nights. The result is fruit of uncommon intensity and grace.
Parcela Única is the ultimate expression of this singular terroir — a wine that captures the quiet power of Patagonia and translates it into something hauntingly beautiful. Only the finest clusters are chosen, each one carefully hand-selected before being guided through a gentle, minimalist vinification that allows nature to speak clearly. French oak lends subtle structure without overwhelming the purity of fruit, and the long, measured maturation builds layers of complexity with time.
This is not a wine made in haste. It is crafted for those who take pleasure in discovery, for evenings where conversation lingers, and for moments that deserve something truly special. Whether shared among friends in Ireland or savoured alone by the fire, Parcela Única carries a sense of place that transcends borders — a bottle that reminds us that great wines are born not only from soil, but from patience, precision, and passion.
Why we love it:
Parcela Única is a masterclass in balance — luxurious yet refined, powerful yet poised. It’s the kind of wine that elevates the simplest of moments — a quiet dinner, a conversation that runs late into the night, a celebration of something earned. Few bottles manage to combine elegance and emotion quite like this one.

Every pairing feels like a conversation between earth and craft — a dialogue that deepens with each sip.

Bodega Ribera del Cuarzo was born from a vision to reveal Patagonia’s hidden potential — a place where relentless nature meets human precision. The winery’s name itself pays tribute to the quartz veins that cut through its vineyards, infusing the wines with unmistakable minerality. Through organic principles, low yields, and minimal intervention, the team crafts wines that are pure reflections of their environment.
