Norton is a native-American grape that produces a robust red wine with big fruit flavors that ages well. Pair with red-meat, game and robust hard cheeses.  Before Prohibition, Norton wines were deemed the "best red wine of all nations" at a worldwide competition in Vienna. This rare, mysterious grape is making a comeback at better wineries in the Southeast.

The Grove Norton is locally grown and a suberb expression of this grape. A must for the serious wine collector. The wine is a deep purple with hints of clove on the nose and a nice tart finish.
