Bodega Noemia J Alberto Malbec-2020

Bodega Noemia is owned by Italian wine producer countess Noemi Cinzano (of the vermouth family) and Danish winemaker Hans Vinding-Diers.

Hans had been working in a commercial winery in Patagonia when he discovered some very special museum wines in the cellar. Captivated he tracked down the source of these wines; a very special 1930’s planting of Malbec which became the foundation for Bodega Noemia. They fell in love with the place and decided to restore it and return it to its original condition. After buying the grapes from this semi-abandoned vineyard in 2001, Noemi and Hans decided to buy that same vineyard in 2004.

The old vines are certified organic and planted on their own roots (phylloxera is yet to make it here) which allows 30% more sap flow in the vine, creating wines with great energy. The wines are traditionally made with exceptional attention to detail.

Inky colour, toasty aromas with blackberries and suggestions of coffee. Flavours of violets, cedar, rich black fruit, vanilla and overtones of rosemary. Finishes lengthily with sweet raspberries.
