If Malbec had a comfort zone, this would be it. The 2024 Norton Colección de los Andes Malbec is your go-to when you want plush fruit, smooth tannins, and that satisfying Mendoza richness without the weight. It comes from estate vineyards nestled in the foothills of the Andes, where sun-soaked days and cool mountain nights make those grapes sing with flavour.
Expect deep aromas of blackberries, violets, and subtle spice, wrapped in a medium-bodied frame that’s equal parts elegant and generous. This is Malbec with altitude – literally and stylistically.
Tasting Notes
Juicy black plum, ripe blueberry, and hints of mocha on the nose. The palate is soft and velvety with a spicy lift and polished finish.
Perfect Pairings
Red meats, grilled mushrooms, or anything off the BBQ. Also plays nice with aged cheddar, empanadas, or your favourite burger night.
Accolades
This vintage is a favourite among sommeliers for its balance and value. A hidden gem in the under-$40 crowd.
Vineyard & Terroir
Grown at over 1,000m in Mendoza’s Uco Valley, the vineyards benefit from rocky soils and extreme diurnal range – ideal for retaining acidity and building deep flavour.
Why We Love It
It’s the kind of Malbec that’s ready to party or chill. Unpretentious, versatile, and oh-so drinkable. Norton just gets it.
