Noemia Patagonia J Alberto Malbec
Vintage: | 2021 |
---|---|
Description: | Biodynamically Farmed. A single vineyard site planted in 1955, the J Alberto bottling never reaches more than a 1,000 cases a year. Their A Lisa is quite pretty, but J Alberto is where you really get to taste the terroir and the pedigree of the estateno wonder winemaker Hans Vinding Diers, the man behind Argiano Brunello, sought out these vines and bought the land. Noemia Patagonia is one of those wineries that has everything going for itgreat vineyards in a unique site; one of the worlds most highly regarded winemakers; impeccable Bio-Dynamic farming; and undeniably delicious wine that is praised by every critic who tastes them. Noemia Patagonia is tiny production and far from the center of Argentinas bustling wine trade. Situated in the Rio Negro Valley roughly 400 miles south of Mendoza, the elevations are lower, but the climate is cooler. As an historic apple and pear growing region, there is a resemblance to the cool climate of Californias Russian River, albeit a much drier and mountainous cool-climate. The three bottling from Noemia Patagonia all focus on small plots of old vines. The resulting wine is a brighter, more aromatic Malbec, with great persistence and beauty. These wines are like nothing else in the Malbec categoryand yet, these are not intellectual or difficult wines, as the Noemia line-up retains plenty of up-front Malbec yumminess. |
