Chegada Norton

Chegada Norton Wine Details
Price: $20.00 per bottle

Description: Our Norton is a dry, crisp, medium bodied Rose style wine with intense fruit forwardness on the pallet. This wine will graciously complement a large variety of meals such as pastas, poultry and seafood. Aged for 10 months in light French oak barrels has given this wine a soft and creamy pallet while retaining its lengthy acidity, heady perfume and spicy character. Excellent chilled or at room temperature, best between 55-68F. The Norton is the true American grape, propagated by Thomas Jefferson; Norton once ruled the hillsides of Virginia. Also known as Cynthiana, Norton has been returned to popular winemaking and is reminiscent of a fine Beaujolie.
