Perdriel Sauvignon Blanc 2023
This impressive Sauvignon Blanc combines bright, fresh varietal aromas of pink grapefruit, herbs and melon with real texture, depth and minerality on the palate. A dry, savoury, beautifully balanced style.
Grapes for this wine come from a single vineyard situated at 950 metres above sea level, with vines aged between thirty and fifty years. The fruit is hand-harvested into twenty kilo baskets, and the berries hand selected.
Ninety percent of the juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks for fourteen days at 16C. The remainder was fermented in French oak barrels over six months.

Finca Perdriel is Bodega Norton’s original property and home to the winery. With one hundred years of continuous cultivation, it has 100 hectares almost entirely planted with vines between 20 and 50 years, at 950 meters (3,117 ft) above sea level. The terroir combines poor soils and cold air from the mountains delivering aromatic and concentrated white and red grapes, perfect for making powerful and elegant premium wines. This estate stands out for the quality of its Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Malbec grapes.
