Bodega Norton's Cosecha Especial Extra Brut is a sparkling wine crafted from Chardonnay grapes grown in the high-altitude vineyards of Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. This sparkling wine represents Norton's long-standing tradition of sparkling wine production in Argentina, utilizing the Charmat method to capture the vibrant, fresh fruit character of the grapes. The cool night breezes from the Andes Mountains help maintain the essential acidity in the grapes, resulting in a sparkling wine with elegant bubbles, aromas of white peach, citrus, and a delicate touch of brioche from yeast contact. It is a celebratory staple in Argentina, reflecting the winery's pioneering spirit in the Primera Zona of Mendoza.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1895 by English engineer Edmund James Palmer Norton, Bodega Norton is one of the oldest and most prestigious wineries in Argentina's Luján de Cuyo region in Mendoza. In 1989, the historic estate was acquired by Austrian businessman Gernot Langes-Swarovski, who modernized the facilities while preserving its rich heritage. Today, the winery is celebrated for its high-altitude viticulture and commitment to expressing the unique terroir of the Primera Zona. Norton is particularly renowned for its structured, age-worthy Malbecs, such as the iconic Gernot Langes blend and the Reserva Malbec, alongside vibrant white wines like Torrontés and Chardonnay.
