✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
