Norton Barrel Select Malbec

The Norton Barrel Select Malbec is a premium, well-balanced red wine that serves as a bridge between Bodega Norton's entry-level collections and their high-end reserves. Sourced from estate vineyards in the Luján de Cuyo region at altitudes of approximately 3,000 feet, this wine is characterized by its "Barrel Select" process, where 50% of the wine is aged in first and second-use French oak barrels for 12 months. This technique results in a wine that maintains the fresh, vibrant fruit of the Malbec grape while gaining sophisticated layers of toasted oak and spice. It presents a deep red colour with violet hues and a complex nose of ripe black fruits, such as plums and figs, complemented by subtle notes of vanilla and black pepper.
