NORTON
Astonished at the features of the place, and pushed by his visionary spirit, in 1895, an English Engineer, Mr. Edmund J. P. Norton planted the first vines importing them from France, thereby giving origin to what was the first winery in the area. Almost 100 years later, Austrian businessman, Mr. Gernot Langes–Swarovski, travelled to Mendoza and experienced the same fascination for the region beauty, the warmth of its people, and the excellent conditions for vine growing. By means of an innovative work system called Mapping the practice “Vineyards inside the vineyard” is applied. For that, vineyards are divided into small parcels that enable the work and individual tracking to achieve their maximum potential. The 5 farms have over 1200 ha fit for growing vine, 680 ha out of which are currently cultivated.
Le domaine Bodega Norton figure aujourd’hui parmi les meilleures exploitations viticoles d’Argentine, avec ses parcelles La Colonia (Luján de Cuyo, 450 ha), Perdriel (100 ha), Agrelo (30 ha), Lunlunta (20 ha) et Medrano (70 ha). Quasiment tous les cépages importants y sont cultivés, autant pour les vins rouges (malbec, merlot, cabernet sauvignon, petit verdot, barbera, sangiovese, syrah et pinot noir) que pour les blancs (torrontés, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, sémillon, chenin blanc et riesling). Les chais sont à la pointe de la modernité. Comme il est de coutume pour les vins d’outre-mer, les vins sont classés en différents niveaux de qualité
