We have long been fans of the brilliant Hans Vinding-Diers. A magical winemaker who for years was involved with the next-door estate - our friends at Bodega Chacra. The 2020 is 90% Malbec & 10% Merlot with 10 months in second year French oak. Deep purple colour with aromas of spice, currants, and a hint of violets. In the mouth this is full-bodied with big and ripe tannins, ripe blackberry and bitter cherry fruit with elegant acidity that really keeps it flowing beautifully. Fine boned for the region and variety and real joy to drink. L&S (Oct 2021)

The 2020 Malbec J Alberto is a Malbec with a 5% dash of Merlot from an old vineyard first planted in 1935 in Mainqué, Río Negro. Half aged in cement and 600 liter barrels, the rest was kept in stainless steel. Bright purple in the glass, fresh cherries are intertwined in the nose with violets, black tea and hints of country herbs as part of a substantial but delicate profile. The aging process plays a supporting role but offers no more than a faint whiff of orange petit fours. On the palate, the balance is precise with delicate weights and measures in which the flow is lean and releases an energy toward the end that fades entropically like a wind-up toy. An elegant wine.

Neighbours of our long-standing partners - Bodega Chacra in Patagonia, southern Argentina, the Noemia estate is jointly owned by wine makers Hans Vinding-Diers and Countess Noemi Marone Cinzano.

These two properties they are producing what are fast becoming recognised at Argentina's greatest 'old world' wines.
