An intense, dark ruby red color. On the nose, there are complex and elegant aromas reflecting the character of this wine, which includes red fruit, spice and minerality. On the palate, the wine is velvety with harmonious tannins coming from the Malbec, followed by complex black fruit that persist in a long and vibrant finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The cool 2016 produced a completely different 2016 Gernot Langes. It was produced with grapes from the Valle de Uco, with a different blend and different vinification. This 2016 is a blend of 50% Malbec from Gualtallary, 40% Cabernet Franc from Altamira and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from Los Árboles. It fermented in used rolling barrels with indigenous yeasts and had a long and soft vinification. This has to be the finest and most elegant red I have tasted from Norton. It’s super tasty, balanced and has great freshness. The varieties are very nicely integrated, and there are fine-grained and chalky tannins and a supple, long and tasty finish. 5,000 bottles were filled in January 2018, and it still feels very young and energetic.

• James Suckling: This is a full-bodied red, loaded with juicy, sleek tannins, before a long, mouthwatering finish.

Producer Information

In 1895 Edmund Norton founded Bodega Norton and became an ambassador for quality Argentinian winemaking. Our team is united by a passion to honor our pioneering founder and the wines that still bear his name. Bodega Norton has five vineyards spread over the main terroirs of the province of Mendoza, at 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 more than 80-year-old.
