Originally crafted for the Swarovski family’s private cellar, the Norton Privada Family Blend 2022 is a luxurious Argentinian red wine once reserved exclusively for private enjoyment. This exceptional wine is made from a handpicked selection of grapes sourced from Bodega Norton’s oldest vineyards in Luján de Cuyo, aged between 50 and 90 years.
The Privada Family Blend is a masterful combination of Malbec (40%), Cabernet Sauvignon (30%), and Merlot (30%), meticulously aged for 16 months in new French oak barrels. The result is a smooth and elegant red wine that delivers both power and finesse.
Expect a deep ruby red colour with aromas of dark chocolate, kirsch, and spiced plums. On the palate, rich notes of mocha, cocoa powder, raspberry, and oak spice create a balanced, lingering finish that showcases the depth and integration of its three varietals.
Whether you are shopping for a premium red wine from Argentina, a bold Malbec blend, or the perfect gift for a wine connoisseur, Norton Privada 2022 is a luxurious choice for any wine collection.
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.
