Bodega Noemia A Lisa Malbec

Bodega Noemia A Lisa Malbec is a graceful, cool-climate expression from Patagonia’s remote Río Negro Valley. Refined rather than heavy, it captures the purity of ancient-vine fruit, desert freshness and quiet sophistication, offering a beautifully poised Malbec with energy, fragrance and a true sense of place.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Deeply hued and vibrant, the nose opens with crushed violets, wild lavender and dark berry perfume. The palate is fluid and elegant, revealing ripe black cherry, damson plum and bramble fruit layered with subtle cocoa nib, earthy liquorice and gentle spice. Silky tannins and refreshing mineral acidity create lift and precision, carrying the wine to a long, savoury finish of dried herbs and polished finesse.

Craftsmanship & Story

Bodega Noemia was founded in 2001 by Countess Noemí Marone Cinzano and winemaker Hans Vinding-Diers after discovering remarkable old Malbec vines in Patagonia. Their vision was to reveal a more elegant face of Argentine wine through biodynamic farming and restrained winemaking. In the cool Río Negro Valley, long ripening seasons and pristine conditions allow wines of fragrance, freshness and remarkable purity.

Special Features

A Lisa is sourced from mature vineyards averaging around forty years old, farmed organically and biodynamically in a desert climate shaped by cold Patagonian winds. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured largely in neutral French oak and stainless steel, the wine preserves its floral aromatics, mineral edge and vibrant fruit character without intrusive oak influence.
