This red blend comprises Malbec (90%), Merlot (9%) \u0026amp; Petit Verdot (1%) and was matured 11 months in in 40% old French barrels and 60% in stainless steel vats.  Deep purple colour with aromas of spice, currants and a hint of violets. Full-bodied and signature elegance in this wine-more savoury fruit spectrum than malbec from Mendoza with lots of blackberry and dark cherry fruit and silky fine-grained tannins and a lick of raspberry. It is focused, velvety, plush and complex. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 Pts Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous Media \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The 2023 Malbec A. Lisa originates from Mainqué, Río Negro, and was aged for ten months in used barrels. This opens with delicate cherry and violet notes, vibrant fruit and a gentle touch of oak. The palate is smooth with juicy freshness, good concentration and slightly ripe fruit.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVariety\u003c\/strong\u003e - Malbec\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e - Argentina\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e - Patagonia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtra\u003c\/strong\u003e - Cork\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e - 2023\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003ca href=\"#pro_more_desc\" id=\"more_desc_btn\"\u003eAbout the Wine Maker \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/files\/right-arrow_480x480.jpg?v=1647847041\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBodega Noemia is owned by Italian wine producer countess Noemi Cinzano (of the vermouth family) and Danish winemaker Hans Vinding-Diers. Hans had been working in a commercial winery in Patagonia when he discovered some very special museum wines in the cellar. Captivated he tracked down the source of these wines; a very special 1930’s planting of Malbec which became the foundation for Bodega Noemia. They fell in love with the place and decided to restore it and return it to its original condition. After buying the grapes from this semi-abandoned vineyard in 2001, their first vintage was made in an old shed belonging to a fruit packing company; they destemmed the grapes by hand at night, and put them in open fibreglass tanks so that they could crush them with their feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea was to get back to basics. In 2004, Noemi and Hans decided to buy that same vineyard and have continued the project to this day with the same passion with which they started it. Another vineyard planted in the 50’s was then discovered and then younger vines planted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rio Negro is half way between the Andes and the Atlantic Ocean, a large valley formed by two rivers provides and provides a microclimate cool enough for growing, apples, pears and fine wine. The old vines are certified organic and planted on their own roots (phylloxera is yet to make it here) which allows 30% more sap flow in the vine, creating wines with great energy. The wines are traditionally made with exceptional attention to detail.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bodega Noemia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53084033810616,"sku":"SKU-240326001446","price":85.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/files\/14E3F3CA-274C-4F8B-84F1-4CC31F35F699.jpg?v=1774313758","url":"https:\/\/www.vauclusecellars.com.au\/products\/bodega-noemia-a-lisa-2023","provider":"Vaucluse Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
