Norton Finca La Colonia Malbec 2022

The must was fermented for seven days at 25ºC, using only natural yeast. Malolactic was also 100% natural, and only the lightest touch of oak was used – the wine was bottled relatively early as a pure varietal expression.

Norton has 680 hectares of vineyard in production, minutely mapped and divided into parcels so that the individual varieties, clones and training methods suit the soil in each. Minimal treatments are used in the vineyards, which are run along virtually organic lines. All the grapes are hand picked.

This wine has sweet and spicy aromas, reminiscent of black pepper with lovely ripe red fruit on the palate and a really smooth texture.
