Description
Bodega Noemia reveals an aromatic and refined 100% Malbec
The producer
Located in Argentina in the Rio Negro region, Bodega Noemia was founded by two enthusiasts, Italian Countess Noemi Marone Cinzano and wine producer and Danish winemaker Hans Vinding-Diers. The acquisition and restructuring of the vineyard of an old wine estate founded in the 1930's made it possible to unveil in 2001 the first vintage of the estate, which achieved immediate success. Over the course of the vintages, Bodega Noemia has developed a range of wines with great finesse, from old vines planted in a mosaic of exceptional terroirs.
The wine
This Malbec 2018 of Bodega Noemia is the product of a vineyard of 1.5 hectares cultivated in biodynamics since 2006. This exceptional terroir is spread over 4 plots, each with its own soil type (clay, sand, limestone, pebbles, silt). Planted in 1932, the pre-phylloxera vines have been preserved by a rigorous massal selection. Uncloned, the vines are genetically distinct. Irrigation is carried out by flooding, as is traditionally practiced within this region.
The vintage
A warm, dry winter preceded a spring marked by early frost, affecting around 30% of the vineyard, as well as the flowering, whose heterogeneity led to significant coulure. While the summer began with cool, humid conditions, temperatures gradually become warmer before a gloomy autumn.
The winemaking and ageing
Each of the 4 plots was harvested at optimal maturity. Following a rigorous selection, 75% of the grapes were destemmed and the rest kept in whole cluster. Carried out on a plot-by-plot basis in 4 French oak barrels specially designed for the property, the spontaneous fermentation was accompanied by pour-overs and then punch-downs. A rapid pressurage preceded malolactic fermentation in demi-muids of 600 litres and then ageing took place for 18 months.
The blend
100% Malbec.
Food and wine pairing
This Malbec 2018 by Bodega Noemia will go beautifully with Patagonian lamb.
Serving
For an optimal tasting, serve at 16°C. Following the opening of the bottle, the wine unveils in the next 48 hours a rich aromatic palette.
