Select Sauvignon Blanc 2021
Trade Tools
Argentina / Mendoza
Select is distinguished by its fruity style and classic elegance. It expresses the careful selection of every detail for this wine, from the timing of harvest to the moment of opening the bottle. Select captures the spirit of Mendoza and of Norton's high-altitude vineyards (3,000+ feet). Norton celebrates being pioneers in Mendoza since 1895, nestled in the foothills of the Andes.
Harvest Note
Mendoza experienced a very cool beginning of the year, slowing processes slightly. Temperatures began to increase again in March, forcing the grapes to ripen quickly. This allowed for classic flavors of fruit and great complexity from the grapes.
Tasting Note
Greenish yellow with golden hues. Fresh aromas of green apples and tropical fruit, with a balanced acidity that highlights the freshness.
