A Premium Argentine Blend for Wine Lovers

Bodega Norton Privada Family Blend 2022 is a meticulously crafted, complex red wine that reflects the expertise and dedication of one of Argentina’s finest wineries. This exceptional blend consists of 40% Malbec, 30% Merlot, and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, combining three of the world’s most celebrated grape varieties to produce a wine that showcases the unique character of the Luján de Cuyo region in Mendoza.

The wine is sourced from some of the most distinguished sub-regions of Mendoza, including Perdriel, Lunlunta, and Agrelo, where vines between 50 and 80 years old thrive at elevations of up to 1,100 meters above sea level. These ideal conditions yield fruit of remarkable quality, leading to a deep, vibrant red wine with impressive complexity and aging potential.

Tasting Notes

Upon pouring, the Bodega Norton Privada Family Blend 2022 reveals an intense, dark colour, inviting the senses to experience its rich and layered aroma. The wine opens with concentrated dark berry fruit notes, complemented by hints of black currant, plum, and a touch of oak. The French oak ageing imparts subtle flavours of spice, vanilla, and tobacco, seamlessly integrated with the ripe fruit characteristics.

On the palate, this wine is full-bodied with a harmonious balance of acidity and velvety tannins. The texture is smooth and rich, offering a persistent finish that promises to evolve beautifully with age. Its complexity, depth, and elegance make it a perfect match for a variety of fine dining experiences, particularly red meats, grilled dishes, and aged cheeses.

Aging Potential

With a carefully calculated 16 months of ageing in French oak barrels, this wine is designed to improve with time. As it continues to mature, the tannins will soften, and the flavours will become even more nuanced, making it an ideal choice for collectors and wine enthusiasts seeking a long-lasting and evolving experience.
