Bodega Norton has five vineyards spread over the main terroirs of the province of Mendoza in, the foothills of the Andes Mountains, all of them within a privileged zone known as the First Zone for the quality of its grapes. It is not just geographical location that influences the quality of our wines, but the age of our vines. Their average age is around 30 years, but we also have a large number of hectares planted with 80-year-old vines. It presents a deep dark ruby-red color. With intense ripe fruit aromas, such as blackberries and raspberries,
combined with a subtle spiced note. It is a wine with great structure, which is granted by the intense fruit and spiced character with an outstanding lingering finish.

| Winery | In 1885, the Buenos Aires to Mendoza railway opened, cementing the significance of this emerging wine-growing region high in the Andean foothills. One visitor to Mendoza, an English engineer called Edmund Norton, was so struck by the beauty and potential he saw there that he established a winery bearing his name, and in 1895 planted the first vines in Mendoza’s Lujan de Cuyo district. Almost a century later, Gernot Langes-Swarovski was similarly struck by Mendoza and its vineyards; in 1989, he acquired Bodega Norton and set about transforming it into the world-renowned winery it is today. Both men rightly recognized the special nature of the area. At 900-1,100 meters, the altitude moderates the temperature while exposing the vines to more ultraviolet light. The result is whites packed with vibrant flavor and good natural acidity, and well-structured, food-friendly reds. |
