You have met Malbec. Now meet this one.
Norton’s Reserva takes what people love about Argentina’s signature grape, the juicy dark berries, smooth tannins and a little smoky spice, and adds depth from time in French oak. Rich but balanced: comfort in a bottle.
Tastes like: Blueberry, blackberry and plum, then chocolate, clove and a whisper of vanilla.
Feels like: Full-bodied and dry, with a bit of grip, balanced freshness and oak in the background.
Great with: Chargrilled meats, spicy sausages, a Sunday roast, mushroom risotto.
Singapore and Asian favourites: Bak chor mee with extra chilli, satay, beef rendang.
The geeky bit: Malbec from vines over 30 years old in the Uco Valley and Luján de Cuyo, where altitude and rocky soils help keep the wine balanced. Matured in French oak.
Accolades: 90 pts Wine Advocate
Why we like it: Rich layers, silky texture and enough structure to impress your most wine-savvy friends.
Serve: 16 to 18°C. Room temperature in Singapore is too warm for red wine, so give it 20 minutes in the fridge first.
Alcohol: 14%
