Trade Tools
Argentina / Mendoza
Bodega Norton's Rosado de Malbec is a pale salmon pink wine with flowery and herbal aromas. It has a refreshing acidity and smooth texture which are in good balance with the fruit flavors in the wine. Made from Malbec grapes, the wine is fresh and pleasant on the palate.
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.
