1895 Colección Moscato 2020
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 Moscato offers ripe citrus and sweet stone fruit notes with a pleasantly crisp finish.
Harvest Note
Early harvest, healthy grapes and vines, ideal temperatures, deep wine concentration and an anticipated end of the harvest season. The 2020 harvest began around September/October after a mild winter, low amounts of snow and some late spring frosts. December and January days were very warm with scarce precipitation which caused the grapes to mature early. Grape harvest occurred earlier than usual this year, in January. 2020 was a truly healthy year both regarding the fruit and the vineyards. We experienced a decrease in quantity but a significant rise in quality. Regarding the wines, this vintage will display concentrated, delicious and memorable wines.
Tasting Note
This is a clear and bright Moscato, with golden hues in its color. It has floral aromas, with a touch of citrusy notes. It is sweet, creamy and fresh with hints of peach and apricot, and a crisp finish.
