Bodega Norton's Late Harvest Moscato, locally celebrated in Argentina as 'Cosecha Tardía', represents a delightful expression of sweet winemaking in the high-altitude terroirs of Mendoza. Crafted from grapes left on the vine to concentrate their natural sugars under the intense Andean sun, this wine benefits from the dramatic diurnal temperature shifts of the region, which preserve vital acidity. The winemaking process involves halting fermentation early through temperature control, leaving a luscious, naturally sweet profile brimming with aromatic intensity. It captures the playful, aromatic heritage of the Muscat grape, delivering a style that has become a beloved staple for gatherings and dessert courses across Argentina.
🍾 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.
