About this winery

Bodega Noemia was inspired by the discovery of a small plot of old vine, pre-phylloxera Malbec in the Río Negro Valley, where almost non-existent rainfall and incessant breezes make vine diseases virtually unknown. Bodega Noemía was originally a collaboration between Danish winemaker Hans Vinding-Diers and Countess Noemi Marone Cinzano. Together they restored the old vineyard back to life and they purchased a small property to make a small amount of wine for fun. The resulting wine quickly...

Tim Atkin MW, 2023 (Vintage 2019)

Right up there with the best-ever releases of this remarkable wine, the 2019 Noemía is a stunner from Hans Vinding Diers. Using fruit from a 1.5-hectare planted in 1932, it’s a Malbec that tips its hat to Pinot Noir in terms of structure. Fermented with 25% whole bunches for extra complexity, it’s subtle, savoury and effortlessly complex, with engaging minerality, fine-grained tannins and layers of plum, bramble and red berry fruit.

November 2021 (Vintage 2019)

Noemía's 2019 Malbec has done it again; Hans Vinding Diers hit the mark with a superbly elegant, nuanced interpretation of Malbec from Mainque, Río Negro. Fermented in open casks, with 30% whole bunches, it was aged in casks and foudres for a year before being racked into used barrels for two more months. The grapes come from a vineyard first planted in 1932 and tended to as a garden ever since. As Vinding Diers says: “We’re working to reveal even more of the magic of this vineyard.” The nose is a pure compendium of fresh plum and sweet and sour cherry along with violets and a hint of tea. The aging process flirts with revealing itself but is only really an insinuation. Things get even better in the complex mouth: the proportion of all the different parts – acidity, tannins and alcohol – ensures good balance and fits perfectly together in a way that they continue right through to a finish where the whole becomes more than the sum. A deliciously detailed wine.

November 2023 (Vintage 2019)

Beautiful nose of plums, chocolate, cherries, olives and blueberries, with seaweed and crushed stones, too. Hints of lemon zest. It’s silky and well-integrated, with a medium to full body and very fine tannins. Long, savory and elegant. Drink now or hold.
