2009 Mendoza Malbec

Bodega Norton Reserva Malbec from the 2009 vintage is a stunning representation of the Mendoza region's winemaking prowess. This full-bodied red wine showcases a deep garnet color, hinting at its richness and complexity. The acidity is pronounced, contributing to a lively mouthfeel that enhances its depth of flavor. This Malbec is characterized by high fruit intensity, offering a bouquet of ripe blackberries and plums, complemented by subtle notes of chocolate and vanilla from oak aging. The tannins are firm and structured, providing a solid backbone and ensuring the wine's longevity while perfectly balancing its expressive fruit. As a dry wine, it pairs beautifully with hearty dishes, making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate robust and flavorful wines.

Mendoza

Mendoza is the heart of Argentinian wine production. It was here where a previously little-known French grape variety called Malbec became a global superstar. With its extreme altitudes and Andean climate, Mendoza nurtures its vineyards in dramatic sun-drenched plateaus set against snow-capped peaks. At these elevations, the intense UV light ripens grapes in a unique way, working with the cold mountain air to create gloriously supple and expressive wines with bold yet brightly aromatic fruit. Mendoza's high-quality varietals from Bonarda, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are also notable, as are its fine Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from sub-regions such as Maipú, Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley.
