Bodega Noemia Patagonia 2019

Bodega Noemía Patagonia 2019 is an exquisite, old-vine Malbec from one of Argentina’s most captivating cool-climate regions. Sourced from a tiny 1.5-hectare vineyard planted in 1932, this wine combines rare vine heritage with meticulous, parcel-by-parcel craftsmanship. The result is a deeply expressive, elegant Malbec that showcases Patagonia’s finesse rather than sheer power.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Bodega Noemía Patagonia 2019 typically shows a deep, vivid ruby-purple hue with bright, youthful reflections. On the nose, expect layers of wild blackberries, blueberries, and dark cherries, lifted by floral notes of violets and dried rose petals. Subtle hints of graphite, fresh herbs, and finely woven oak—such as cocoa, sweet spice, and a touch of vanilla—add further complexity. The palate is at once concentrated and refined, offering pure dark fruit wrapped in polished tannins and vibrant, cool-climate acidity. Flavours of black plum, cassis, and ripe red berries are interlaced with notes of licorice, mineral undertones, and a long, savoury finish that feels both precise and silky. This vintage has the structure and balance to age gracefully for 10–15 years from release, developing more truffle, tobacco, and tertiary nuances with time, while already being beautifully approachable in its youth.

Production
The fruit for Bodega Noemía Patagonia 2019 comes from a remarkable 1.5-hectare vineyard in Patagonia, planted in 1932 on its original, ungrafted rootstock (pie franco) and selected by massale selection, meaning each vine is genetically unique rather than cloned. The cool, windswept Patagonian climate and alluvial soils with excellent drainage produce naturally low yields and intense, finely etched fruit. The vineyard is divided into four small parcels, each managed independently to optimize canopy, ripeness, and health, and then harvested by hand at optimal maturity. Each parcel is vinified separately in four open-top French oak fermentation tanks, custom-made by Surtep Tonnellier, allowing for gentle extraction, precise temperature control, and a tailor-made approach to each lot before blending and further élevage in carefully selected oak.

Food & Serving
This refined Patagonian Malbec pairs beautifully with grilled or roast lamb, dry-aged ribeye, venison, or slow-braised short ribs, as well as rich dishes like mushroom ragù, truffle risotto, and aged hard cheeses. Its freshness and elegance also work well with herb-crusted pork and dishes featuring rosemary, thyme, or sage. Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) for optimal expression. Decanting for 45–60 minutes before serving will help the wine open up its aromatic complexity and soften the tannins, especially in its younger years.
