Paying tribute to the founding year of Bodega Norton, the 1895 Colección wines capture the spirit of Argentina. Each wine in the collection showcases fresh, approachable styles meant for everyday enjoyment. The Chardonnay features ripe, round apple and citrus notes coupled with minerality from the soils of the Andes foothills.

Harvest Note
The 2019 vintage will go down as one of the best vintages of the decade with white wines showing outstanding quality. In general, the wines of the vintage should be classified as very good to excellent quality. After a notably cool and dry spring, the cool temperatures and dry conditions continued throughout the growing season, allowing the grapes to hang on the vine and ripen 1-3 weeks longer than normal. This prolonged growing season allowed the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly, with the cool temperatures and dry conditions producing lower yields. The result was a great balance between aromatic expression and concentration of flavor and sugars. The wines display elegance and balance with fresh acidity and superb aging potential.
Tasting Note
Golden yellow with greenish tones. Green apples and tropical fruit on the palate. Well structured, round and balanced, with fine finish.

About the Grape

Chardonnay
Though it has a distinctive profile, Chardonnay reflects other factors such as soil composition and vinification technique. Chardonnay is a reliable, hardy and prolific vine whose only real vulnerabilities are frost and uneven development of fruit.
