Mendoza IG Malbec Barrel Select 2021 Norton

Malbec Barrel Select originates from the vineyards of the Argentine Norton winery, located in Luján de Cuyo, a city of Mendoza known worldwide for being the cradle of great red wines.

As the name suggests, it is obtained from a careful selection of first and second passage French oak barrels inside which, once the fermentation process is over, the wine stays for a period of at least 12 months. 6 months aging in bottle follows.

Deep ruby red with purplish fingernail, hints of ripe cassis and black pepper take shape on the nose. It is pleasant and spicy, with well integrated tannins that lead to a closure with excellent persistence.

Recommended in combination with hamburgers and grilled meats.
