Bodega Norton Privada Family Blend 2023 14,5% Vol. 0,75l

The Bodega Norton Privada Family Blend 2023 is a high-quality cuvée from the heart of Mendoza, one of Argentina's most important wine regions. The grapes for this fine red wine come from the bodega's oldest vineyards, which are up to 90 years old and located at around 1,100 meters above sea level in the foothills of the Andes. This altitude ensures cool nights and strong day-night contrasts, giving the grapes an ideal balance of ripe fruit and fresh acidity.

The cuvée is traditionally composed of Malbec, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon—three grape varieties that find ideal conditions in Mendoza. The grapes are carefully selected, gently processed, and then aged for 16 months in French oak barrels, which lends the wine structure, complexity, and aging potential. The 2023 vintage presents itself with particularly dense fruit, elegant spice, and velvety tannins – a prime example of modern, high-quality Argentinian red wine.

The Privada Family Blend was originally produced as an exclusive house wine for the winery's family and is now one of the most renowned bottlings in Bodega Norton's portfolio – powerful, profound, and with great aging potential.
