✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Bodega Norton's 'Privada' was originally crafted as an exclusive blend reserved solely for the Swarovski family and their personal guests, kept hidden away in the family's private cellar. Due to its extraordinary quality and the insistence of those privileged enough to taste it, the winery eventually released it to the world. Sourced from the estate's oldest, low-yielding vineyards in Luján de Cuyo—some of which exceed 80 years of age—this wine is a harmonious marriage of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. Each variety is fermented separately before being blended and aged for 12 to 16 months in French oak barrels, followed by additional bottle aging. The result is a sophisticated, deeply concentrated wine that represents the pinnacle of Norton's traditional blending expertise, showcasing rich dark fruit, elegant spice, and a velvety, structured finish.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Bodega Norton blev grundlagt i 1895 af den engelske ingeniør Edmund James Palmer Norton og hører til blandt Argentinas mest historiske vinhuse. Ejendommen ligger i Perdriel i det berømte Luján de Cuyo i Mendoza. I 1989 overtog den østrigske iværksætter Gernot Langes-Swarovski vingården og indførte banebrydende europæisk vinfremstillingsteknologi, samtidig med at respekten for de over 100 år gamle, uoverpodede vinstokke blev bevaret. Bodega Norton har fokus på omhyggelig højdedyrkning for foden af Andesbjergene og skaber vine, der ubesværet forener mineralsk kompleksitet med en ren og livlig frugt. Vingården er verdenskendt for sine skoledannende Malbec-vine, herunder flagskibet Gernot Langes og Norton Reserva, men udmærker sig ligeledes med fornem Cabernet Sauvignon, sprøde hvidvine og elegante mousserende vine.
