In 1875, Edmund Norton first planted vines in Mendoza's Lujan de Cuyo district high in the Andean foothills. At 900-1100 meters, the altitude moderates the temperature, causing an extended ripening season, and also exposes the vines to more ultraviolet light, which encourages colour and tannin development. The results are obvious for all to see, vibrant wines packed with flavour, good acidity, well-structured and amazingly food friendly.
