Suben Roote Wine Details
Price:

Description: This 100% Georgia Grown Norton varietal delivers the terroir of the North Georgia Mountains. The balance of red fruit, earthiness and natural chocolate make this is the perfect sipping wine. Enjoy this wine with a flank steak topped with blue cheese crumbles, sautéed asparagus and balsamic salad. For the really guilty pleasure pair with chocolate fudge brownie and vanilla ice cream.

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.
