✨ Technical Specifications
Bodega Norton's Finca La Colonia Cabernet Sauvignon originates from the historic La Colonia estate, located in the prestigious Luján de Cuyo region of Mendoza. Once a vibrant settlement for the winery's early workers, this high-altitude vineyard sits at approximately 1,100 meters above sea level, nestled against the foothills of the Andes. The intense mountain sunlight combined with dramatic diurnal temperature shifts allows the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to develop deep color, structured tannins, and signature notes of blackcurrant and red pepper. Crafted to highlight the estate's unique terroir, the wine undergoes traditional fermentation followed by careful aging, resulting in a harmonious balance of ripe fruit, subtle spice, and approachable structure.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1895 by English engineer Edmund James Palmer Norton, Bodega Norton is one of Argentina's most historic wineries, situated in Perdriel within the celebrated Luján de Cuyo subregion of Mendoza. In 1989, the estate was acquired by Austrian entrepreneur Gernot Langes-Swarovski, who introduced cutting-edge European winemaking technology while preserving its heritage of century-old, ungrafted vines. Bodega Norton emphasizes meticulous high-altitude viticulture beneath the Andes, crafting wines that seamlessly blend mineral complexity with vibrant fruit expression. The estate is globally celebrated for its benchmark Malbecs, including the flagship Gernot Langes and Norton Reserva, alongside distinguished Cabernet Sauvignon, crisp white varietals, and refined sparkling wines.
