Finca La Colonia Malbec
Finca La Colonia is named after one of Norton s estates, located in Luján de Cuyo at
an altitude of 1,100 metres above sea level. The vineyards are minutely mapped
and divided into parcels so that the individual varieties, clones and training methods
suit the soil in each. Minimal treatments are used in the vineyards, which are run
along virtually organic lines. All the grapes are hand picked. Malolactic was also
