Chrysalis Norton

Chrysalis Vineyards · Virginia · United States

Chrysalis Norton is an red wine from United States, in the Virginia region (Eastern United States, from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the rolling piedmont around Charlottesville and Monticello.), made principally from Norton. America's own native grape, championed in Virginia — rich, spicy and proudly historic.

In character, this value tier delivers the classic norton profile — dark fruit, earth, spice — with the structural stamp of Virginia and a medium-to-full-bodied presence. This profile reflects published sources, winery information and regional reference material, researched editorially rather than tasted blind.
