Bodega Norton Privada Family Blend 2016
The Bodega Norton Privada Family Blend was originally reserved for the Swarovski family’s private cellar, an exclusive red wine blend for them to enjoy among their friends. Grapes for Privada come from the estates oldest vineyards, between 50 and 90 years old located in the Luján du Cujo. A truly unique wine, it is a special selection of the best barrels of Malbec (40%), Merlot (30%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (30%), which results in a harmonious, complex and elegant blend. Aged for 16 months in new French oak, Norton's Privada Family Blend is deep red in colour with a rich chocolaty aroma that leads onto deeply spiced flavours of dark plum, kirsch and mocha. Rich, smooth and elegant on the palate with notes of cocoa powder and raspberry and a lingering finish given by the integration of its three blends.
