Bodega Norton Altura Cabernet Franc 2017

Bodega Norton was founded in 1895 at the Mendoza River Valley. The estate winery is located at the foothills of the Andes, at altitudes ranging between 850 to 1100 m. above sea level. “Altura” means altitude, height above sea level, combination of day solar intensity and atmospheric pressure.  Altura was inspired by the connection between soil and elevation and microclimate in a special vineyard located in Uco Valley in Mendoza.
