Hailing from Bodega Norton's Finca Colonia estate in the high-altitude terroirs of Mendoza, this Sauvignon Blanc captures the vibrant, sun-drenched character of the region balanced by the cool night breezes rolling down from the Andes. Established in 1895, Norton has long mastered the art of matching grape varieties to specific microclimates. For this expression, the grapes are harvested at optimal freshness and fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the grape's natural purity. The result is a highly aromatic, crisp white wine that showcases bright citrus notes of pink grapefruit and lime, complemented by green apple and a classic herbaceous undertone that reflects Mendoza's unique high-desert terroir.
🍾 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.
