1895 Colección Malbec 2021
Trade Tools
Argentina / Mendoza
Paying tribute to the founding year of Bodega Norton, the 1895 Colección wines capture the spirit of Argentina. Each wine in the collection showcases fresh, approachable styles meant for everyday enjoyment. This Malbec features a bold, yet friendly aromatic and fruit profile that is inviting and easy to drink.
Harvest Note
2021 was a challenging but rewarding vintage. Early frost reduced potential yields by nearly 25%, while late summer rains delayed harvest and threatened rot. Warm and dry days in March wrapped up an otherwise cool vintage, restoring balance to the wines. The skilled viticulturalists at Bodega Norton were rewarded with wines of freshness and concentration with moderate alcohol levels.
Tasting Note
Deep red color with aromas of violet and plum. Juicy, ripe strawberry and plum on the palate with smooth tannins and a harmonious finish.
