Description:
"Norton" is the official grape of the State of Missouri and is considered the cornerstone of the Missouri Wine Industry. It is a full-bodied wine with penetrating flavor and aroma. Norton pairs well with big, bold flavors such as BBQ, steak and lasagna. It is great for accentuating the taste of dark chocolate. Enjoy!

Varietal Definition
Norton:
In 1835, Dr. Daniel Norton of Virginia developed this grape varietal that was originally known as the Virginia Seedling. Widely planted in the Midwest (where it is sometimes called Cynthiana), it has become a source of interest to East Coast vintners in recent years. It produces a dark, inky wine with flavors of plums and cherries. Horton Vineyards in Virginia is particularly interested in reviving the grape's reputation. In the South, look for Norton (or Cynthiana) from Moonrise Bay, Mountain Valley, Three Sisters, Tiger Mountain and Tennessee Valley.
