DESCRIPTION
Bodega Noemia J. Alberto Malbec 2021 comes from old pre-phylloxera vines planted in 1955 in the Río Negro Valley, cultivated under certified organic agriculture (Ecocert) with biodynamic practices and no added sulfites. A blend of 95% Malbec and 5% Merlot, it is aged for 13 months in French oak barrels. This wine expresses an elegant and contemporary Patagonian vision of Malbec, in a fresh, approachable, and deeply identity-driven style. Bodega Noemia, located in the Río Negro Valley of Patagonia, was founded by Countess Noemi Marone Cinzano and winemaker Hans Vinding-Diers, with a first vintage in 2001. With the estate acquired in 2004, their methods respect nature: manual harvesting, meticulous sorting, and spontaneous fermentation. Organic certification by Ecocert, biodynamic practices.
On the nose, notes of plums accompanied by herbal notes and mineral touches of graphite. On the palate, crunchy and fresh, with silky and well-integrated tannins conferring an elegant texture. It pairs well with a mushroom and truffle tart or a duck breast with red berry sauce. Serve between 14 and 16°C. Aging potential of 15 to 20 years.
Region
Patagonia
Argentina
Between 38° and 45° south latitude, Patagonia is among the world's southernmost vineyards. Cool climate, constant winds and alluvial soils, sometimes calcareous, produce wines of remarkable natural purity and acidity. Under the Patagonia Argentina appellation, three zones stand out: Río Negro for its elegant wines, Neuquén for their power, and Chubut, the southernmost, for their aromatic freshness. Malbec, the king grape variety, offers a fresher and more elegant style there than in the rest of the country, alongside Pinot Noir, Merlot and crystalline whites.
