Experience the depth and elegance of Bodega Norton Altura Malbec, a premium Argentinian red wine crafted in the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza, one of the world’s most celebrated regions for Malbec. This opulent wine pours a deep ruby colour and opens with expressive aromas of ripe black fruits, warm spices, and subtle vanilla.
On the palate, Altura Malbec delivers a rich, full-bodied flavour profile featuring layers of black cherry, blackberry, and juicy plum, beautifully balanced with hints of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and tobacco. Its velvety texture and well-integrated tannins create a smooth, lingering finish supported by a refined acidity.
Perfect for pairing with grilled steaks, roasted meats, aged cheeses, and hearty stews, this Malbec showcases the true character of high-altitude winemaking and is an excellent choice for both casual enjoyment and special occasions.
Founded in the heart of Argentina’s wine country, Bodega Norton has been a pioneer in producing premium high-altitude wines from Mendoza since the late 19th century. The story begins in 1895, when English engineer Edmund Norton was captivated by the stunning landscape and winemaking potential of the Luján de Cuyo region, nestled in the foothills of the Andes Mountains.
Inspired by the unique terroir, he established what would become one of the most iconic wineries in Mendoza. With vineyards planted at elevations between 900 and 1,100 meters above sea level, Norton benefits from cooler temperatures and intense UV exposure, ideal conditions for cultivating bold, well-structured red wines and crisp, vibrant white wines.
In 1989, the legacy continued when Gernot Langes-Swarovski, of the Swarovski crystal family, recognized the exceptional quality and future potential of the region. He acquired Bodega Norton and transformed it into a world-renowned winery known for its award-winning Argentine Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Torrontés wines.
Today, Norton continues to craft wines that reflect the character and richness of Mendoza’s high-altitude vineyards. Whether you are looking to buy Argentine Malbec online, stock your wine cellar with Luján de Cuyo wines, or simply discover new favourites, Bodega Norton offers a unique taste of Argentina’s premier wine region.
