✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Finca La Colonia is one of Bodega Norton's most cherished estates, located in the heart of Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. Acquired in 1934, this historic property was unique for its time, functioning as a vibrant, self-sustaining community for the winery's workers and their families, complete with its own school and chapel. The Colección Chardonnay is a tribute to this rich communal heritage, crafted to express the pure, unadorned character of high-altitude Mendoza fruit. Grown in gravelly, alluvial soils watered by pure Andean snowmelt, the grapes benefit from intense daytime sun and cool mountain nights. To preserve its lively personality, the wine is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with minimal oak contact, resulting in a crisp, aromatic white defined by notes of green apple, tropical melon, and bright citrus.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Bodega Norton blev grundlagt i 1895 af den engelske ingeniør Edmund James Palmer Norton og hører til blandt Argentinas mest historiske vinhuse. Ejendommen ligger i Perdriel i det berømte Luján de Cuyo i Mendoza. I 1989 overtog den østrigske iværksætter Gernot Langes-Swarovski vingården og indførte banebrydende europæisk vinfremstillingsteknologi, samtidig med at respekten for de over 100 år gamle, uoverpodede vinstokke blev bevaret. Bodega Norton har fokus på omhyggelig højdedyrkning for foden af Andesbjergene og skaber vine, der ubesværet forener mineralsk kompleksitet med en ren og livlig frugt. Vingården er verdenskendt for sine skoledannende Malbec-vine, herunder flagskibet Gernot Langes og Norton Reserva, men udmærker sig ligeledes med fornem Cabernet Sauvignon, sprøde hvidvine og elegante mousserende vine.
