Patagonia

The Patagonia range has flavoured still and sparkling mineral waters, named for the mountains where it is bottled. Patagonia is available in orange, apple and lemon, and lime varieties, packaged in 330ml, 500ml and 1l size formats. Its producer, Aguas Primitivas de la Patagonia, bottles the water at source in the mountainous Patagonia region, “using the most advanced technology under strict quality controls”. The mineral water goes from source to the bottle without any human contact. Its tall and thin packaging has two separate colour schemes for differentiation — red for the carbonated and blue for the non-carbonated version — and feature two distinct base formats that depict the mountains in which the water is made.
