Norton

Norton Wine Details
Price:

Description: We allow our Norton to hang as late in the growing season as possible, usually until mid-October. The grapes are hand-picked in a manner similar to the Chardonel. Following crushing and fermentation, the wine is aged in French and American oak barrels for 12 to 24 months. After an additional 12-month bottle maturation, the wine is ready for release. Often compared to Zinfandel, Norton has bold, intensely rich flavors and aromas of blackberries, pepper and toasty oak.
