- Intense, dark, ruby red colour. Complex and elegant aromas reflect this wine's character, including red fruit, spice, and minerality. The wine is dominated by the velvety and harmonious tannins from the malbec, a complex black fruit that persists in a long and vibrating taste.
- Complex aromas of ripe red fruits and mint, with dark chocolate notes. Highly concentrated palate with a long, spicy finish.
Bodega Norton has five vineyards spread over the main terroirs of the province of Mendoza in, the foothills of the Andes Mountains, all of them within a privileged zone known as the First Zone for the quality of its grapes. It is not just geographical location that influences the quality of our wines, but the age of our vines. Their average age is around 30 years, but we also have a large number of hectares planted with 80-year-old vines.

Winery | In 1885, the Buenos Aires to Mendoza railway opened, cementing the significance of this emerging wine-growing region high in the Andean foothills. One visitor to Mendoza, an English engineer called Edmund Norton, was so struck by the beauty and potential he saw there that he established a winery bearing his name, and in 1895 planted the first vines in Mendoza’s Lujan de Cuyo district. Almost a century later, Gernot Langes-Swarovski was similarly struck by Mendoza and its vineyards; in 1989, he acquired Bodega Norton and set about transforming it into the world-renowned winery it is today. Both men rightly recognized the special nature of the area. At 900-1,100 meters, the altitude moderates the temperature while exposing the vines to more ultraviolet light. The result is whites packed with vibrant flavor and good natural acidity, and well-structured, food-friendly reds. |
