Our Thoughts on this wine.....

 Bodega Norton Privada is a ruby red color of remarkable intensity.
This wine has excellent aromatic complexity with notes of ripe black and red fruit, and a fine touch of smoky coffee. It's soft, full and rich on the palate with an excellent balance, length and concentration.

About Bodega Norton..........

1895

Edmund James Palmer Norton first set eyes on Mendoza countryside during the construction of a train line that joined Mendoza and Chile. Very impressed by the terroir, he founded Bodega Norton, south of the Mendoza River, with a plantation of vines imported from France.

 1989 The Austrian businessman Gernot Langes-Swarovski bought Bodega Norton after sensing the great potential of Argentina to influence the world scene. Struck by the beauty of the area and the optimal conditions for growing grapes, he chose Bodega Norton because it was the only traditional winery surrounded by its own vineyard.

.

1991 Gernot Langes-Swarovski’s son, Michael Halstrick, initiated a new phase, aided by significant investments, modernization and growth, that would prepare them for their big international expansion. 

During the 90’s Bodega Norton started exporting high quality wines, becoming one of the first wineries to develop export markets.

The People........One of the chief values of Bodega Norton is taking care of its human resources. Not just because its 350 employees are the real potential of the company, but because all of them bring to life the winery and its wine.This value was recognized in 2010 by the consulting firm Great Place to Work, which ranks the best companies in which to work: Norton was amongst the first companies (ranked 13), and was the only Winery to appear in this ranking.
