Terroir & vineyards
The place makes the wine.
Norton's vineyards sit at around 950 metres in Luján de Cuyo, one of Mendoza's most acclaimed wine regions. Stony alluvial soils and the direct influence of the Andes create a microclimate of pronounced temperature swings, ideal for Argentina's classic red varietals. Its speciality: classic Malbec from Perdriel.
