Winery

Familia Schroeder

Patagonia

Pioneer winery of Argentine Patagonia, founded in 1998 by the Schroeder family in San Patricio del Chañar, Neuquén. Among the first to demonstrate the winemaking potential of Patagonia as a high-altitude region. The name Saurus is a tribute to dinosaur fossils discovered in the region during the establishment of the vineyards. Its extreme terroir—very cold nights, strong daytime temperature amplitude, and well-drained sandy soils—defines the fresh, intensely fruity-profiled wines that characterize it.
