1895 Colección Torrontès 2019
Trade Tools
Argentina / Mendoza
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 Torrontès offers floral aromatics with a medium bodied expression of Argentina's signature white wine grape.
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
Greenish yellow with hints of gold. Intense aromas of white peach, rose petal, and jasmine. Pleasant and well balanced on the palate.
