Norton's Barrel Select Chardonnay comes from high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza, Argentina, planted over 4,000 feet above sea level. The 2023 vintage follows the line's signature method: 30% of the wine is aged in French oak barrels, the rest in stainless steel, and the two are blended before bottling. The result keeps the fresh side of Chardonnay while adding a light toasted edge.
In the glass it is greenish yellow with golden hues. The nose shows green apples and tropical fruit, with vanilla, coconut, toast and a smoky touch from the oak portion. It is a white that reads as rounded rather than heavy.
Pour it with roast chicken, creamy pasta or grilled prawns. It suits a dinner where the table wants an oaked white without the weight. Ralph's imports Norton directly and delivers across Metro Manila.
