Bodega Norton Privada (750ml)

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 estate's 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.

Appearance: Deep red.

Nose: Rich chocolaty aroma that leads onto deeply spiced flavours of dark plum, kirsch, and mocha.

Taste: Rich, smooth, and elegant on the palate with notes of cocoa powder and raspberry.

Finish: Lingering finish given by the integration of its three blends.

Food Pairing: Pair with rich flavors like braised meats, ossobuco, mushroom sauces, and sharp, nutty cheeses.

About the producer: Founded in 1902, Bodegas Catena Zapata is one of the best producers in Argentina, known for its pioneering role in resurrecting Malbec and placing it on the world map. The iconic Nicolás Catena has now passed the reins over to his daughter, Laura, who has the same drive and dedication to produce world-class wines.
