Bodega Norton Lote Negro Unique Edition 2023
Bodega Norton Lote Negro is a rich and deeply flavoured red wine sourced from the high altitude vineyards of the Valle de Uco in Argentina. To capture the best of this famous mountain region, the winemaking team blends sixty percent Malbec with forty percent Cabernet Franc, creating a perfectly balanced wine that highlights the natural quality of the local grapes. To build depth and texture, the wine spends sixteen months maturing in new French oak barrels, followed by a full year resting in the bottle. This patient cellar work softens the tannins and deeply integrates the oak spice, resulting in a wonderfully smooth and approachable pour. Pouring an intense dark red, the glass opens with aromas of fresh blackberry and raspberry, layered over warming spice and a subtle hint of mint. The palate delivers great structural weight and concentrated fruit flavours, leading into a long, clean finish. It is a brilliant bottle to open alongside a thick cut steak or roasted lamb.
