Bodega Norton's Tengo Torrontés is a vibrant celebration of Argentina's signature white grape, crafted to showcase the variety's intensely aromatic and youthful character. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza, where cool night temperatures preserve the grape's natural acidity and delicate perfumes, this wine undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks with no oak contact. The name 'Tengo' (meaning 'I have' in Spanish) invites wine lovers to embrace the expressive, joyful spirit of Argentine viticulture. Historically, Torrontés is believed to have emerged from a natural cross of Muscat of Alexandria and Criolla Chica, bringing a unique combination of Muscat-like floral aromas and a crisp, refreshing palate.
🍾 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.
