✨ Technical Specifications
Bodega Norton's Finca Malbec is a vibrant, fruit-forward celebration of Mendoza's signature grape, crafted to showcase the pure, unadorned character of the region's high-altitude terroir. Sourced from select vineyards in Mendoza, where the vines are nourished by pure Andean snowmelt and bathed in intense, high-altitude sunlight, this wine is designed to be approachable and highly expressive. Unlike its more heavily structured, oak-aged siblings, the Finca Malbec is fermented primarily in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its bright, juicy red fruit profile and floral notes. It captures the convivial spirit of the traditional Argentine asado, offering a friendly, authentic glimpse into the everyday wine culture of Mendoza, where Bodega Norton has been a pioneering force since 1895.
🍾 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.
