Red wine | Mendoza, Argentina
Indulge in the captivating allure of Bodega Norton's Privada, a distinguished red blend hailing from the esteemed Mendoza region of Argentina. This wine is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and passion that Bodega Norton has cultivated over decades. The Privada is a carefully composed blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, each varietal contributing its unique character to create a harmonious and complex wine.
The Malbec offers its signature plush, dark fruit notes, while the Cabernet Sauvignon adds structure and backbone, and the Merlot imparts a smooth, velvety texture. This harmonious blend results in a full-bodied wine with a rich bouquet of aromas. On the nose, you'll discover layers of black cherry, plum, and cassis, complemented by subtle hints of vanilla and spice from the oak aging. These aromas pave the way for a palate that is equally enticing, with well-integrated tannins that provide a firm, yet elegant mouthfeel.
The Privada is a dry wine, allowing the full expression of the fruit and oak to shine. The oak aging not only adds to the complexity of the taste but also ensures that the wine has a long and lingering finish that will leave you wanting more. It's a wine that speaks of Mendoza's high altitude vineyards and the meticulous care that goes into crafting a wine of this caliber. It will surely impress even the most discerning of palates.
This wine is exceptionally versatile when it comes to pairing with food. Its full body and complex flavors make it an ideal accompaniment to hearty dishes such as grilled steaks, roasted lamb, or game meats. It can also pair beautifully with hard cheeses, charcuterie, and rich pasta dishes. For the best experience, serve the Privada at a temperature of around 18°C (64°F) and allow it to breathe for at least 30 minutes to fully express its complex aromas and flavors. The wine comes in a bottle with a cork. It also is recommended to keep in a cool and dark place.
