DESCRIPTION
Bodega Noemia Malbec 2020 comes from a single 1.5-hectare parcel planted in 1932, certified organic (Ecocert) and cultivated biodynamically. The 2020 vintage was marked by a cool spring and a beautiful flowering, followed by heatwaves in January, leading to an earlier harvest than usual to maintain balance. Vinified with indigenous yeasts, aged in demi-muids and stainless steel, then for 12 months in 600L French oak foudres and 8 months in 225L barrels. 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, deep and elegant, with notes of black fruits, fresh plum, violet, sweet spices, and a mineral touch. On the palate, rich with fine tannins and a silky texture; the long finish reveals a beautiful energy blending depth, tension, and elegance. It pairs well with a beef filet with morels or a dry-aged beef filet. Aging potential of 20 years and more.
REGION
Patagonia
Argentina
Between 38° and 45° south, Patagonia is home to some of the southernmost vineyards in the world. A cool climate, constant winds and alluvial soils, sometimes limestone, give wines of remarkable purity and natural acidity.
Within the Patagonia Argentina appellation, three areas stand out: Río Negro for its elegant wines, Neuquén for their power, and Chubut, the most southerly, for their aromatic freshness. Malbec, the leading grape, shows a fresher and more elegant style here than in the rest of the country, alongside Pinot Noir, Merlot and crystalline whites.
