Norton

Norton Wine Details
Price:

Description: Also called Cynthiana, Norton is a rich, full-bodied, dry red wine with spicy overtones. Flavors include chocolate, juniper berry and cedar. Our Norton is aged in handcrafted white oak barrels from Missouri. The Norton vine is indigenous to North America. Norton grapes are known for their deep blue-purple pigmentation, the skin of Norton grapes has a higher content of anthocyanin antioxidants than other purple grape cultivars, and Norton wine possesses up to twice as much of the beneficial chemical (reservatrol) than other red wines. Norton is often served with red meats, tomato based sauces, sharp or mild cheese and chocolate.
