94 points Patricio Tapia (Descorchados): "This is a very unique example of the white varieties that have given good results in the Otronia vineyards, next to Lake Musters, 1,900 kilometers south of Mendoza and in the middle of the Argentine Patagonia. This year, the blend is 48% chardonnay, 28% gewürztraminer, and 25% pinot grigio. Aged for a year in concrete tanks, it has the firm acidity of wines from the area, from grapes ripened under intense sun, but moderated by an equally intense wind. According to winemaker Juan Pablo Murgia, that acidity comes from the pinot grigio, "the backbone of this wine." It's rich in citrus and herbs, and all the flavors are deep and refreshing. (Jan 2023)"

94 points Tim Atkin, MW: "(13.5%). 45 Rugientes is a separately fermented cuvée of Chardonnay with 40% Gewürztraminer and 15% Pinot Gris. Curated in a combination of stainless steel, foudres and concrete eggs, it has rose petal and orange blossom aromas, pear, citrus and baking spice flavours and tangy, mouth-watering acidity. 2023-27. (2023)"

93 points Zekun Shuai (JamesSuckling.com): "A scented and expressive white blend of chardonnay, pinot grigio and gewurztraminer. Super bright and vibrant with a laser beam of high acidity. The nose has some pineapples, fine lees, apricots and salted lemons on offer. Vegan. Organic. Drink now. (2/23/23)"
