1895 Colección Sauvignon Blanc 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. The Sauvignon Blanc offers bright, crisp, and aromatic expression of Argentina's high-altitude terroirs.
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 viticultualists at Bodega Norton were rewarded with wines of freshness and concentration with moderate alcohol levels.
Tasting Note
Bright, pale yellow, with a touch of green. Intense citrus, including pink grapefruit, and fresh herbs. Fresh and fruity on the palate with an elegant, balanced finish.
