Bodega Noemía

Bodega Noemía began with a small parcel of ungrafted Malbec planted in 1932 near Mainqué in Río Negro. Hans Vinding-Diers and Countess Noemi Marone Cinzano founded the winery; the first vintage was 2001, and the estate took Noemi’s name. In 2018, she sold her share to Vinding-Diers, who runs the winery with his wife, Belén.

The valley is intensely dry, with cool nights and persistent winds; old irrigation canals carry Andean water across its alluvial soils. Farming has been organic from the outset, and the cellar favours hand-picked fruit, restrained extraction and fermentation in old wood, cement and stainless steel.
