Bodega Noemía A Lisa 2017
Rio Negro, Patagonia, ArgentinaBodega Noemía is a very special collaboration between Danish winemaker Hans Vinding-Diers (cousin of Peter Sisseck of Pingus), and Countess Noemi Marone Cinzano. The project was inspired by the discovery of a small plot of old vine, pre-phylloxera malbec in the Río Negro Valley, in southern Argentina's Patagonia. A Lisa is a blend of malbec with 9% merlot and 1% petit verdot, blending estate and neighbouring fruit. This was fermented 10% whole clusters, and aged in used barriques and stainless vats for 10 months. Taut and driven, with alluring stony black cherry, black plum, scrubby wild herbs, and fine, structural tannins to a lengthy, spiced finish. Lovely Patagonian freshness here, with intensity of fruit, in a streamlined 13% package.Tasted: 23 December 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $32.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
