✨ Technical Specifications
Finca Perdriel is the historic heart of Bodega Norton, situated on the southern banks of the Mendoza River in Luján de Cuyo at an altitude of 950 meters. The 'Centenario' cuvée is a prestigious red blend crafted to honor over a century of winemaking excellence since the estate's founding in 1895. Sourced from old vines planted in stony, alluvial soils, this wine represents a classic Argentine marriage of power and elegance. It typically blends Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, which undergo extensive aging in French oak barrels. The result is a deeply concentrated, complex wine with layers of dark fruit, spice, and structured tannins, reflecting the rich heritage and unique high-altitude terroir of the Primera Zona.
🍾 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.
