Salentein Barrel Selection Cabernet Sauvignon

Argentinian Cabernet Sauvignon from the Valle de Uco – grown at an altitude of 1,000 to 1,700 meters, where cool nights sharpen the aromatics and stabilize the acidity.

Salentein is one of the defining wineries of Mendoza: the Dutch-managed estate invested early in high-altitude cultivation in the Valle de Uco and works with modern cellar technologies. The Barrel Selection ages for twelve months in French barriques – enough time to integrate fruit and wood without overpowering the wine.

In the glass, deep ruby red. On the nose, black currant and plum, plus notes of cedar wood, black pepper, and a hint of vanilla from the barrel. On the palate, medium to full body, velvety tannins, and a fresh acidity line that extends the finish.

Salentein

Bodegas Salentein – founded in 1996 by Mijndert Pon. The winery in the Valle de Uco, about 100 kilometers south of Mendoza, is considered a pioneer of this wine region. Approx. 800 hectares of own vineyards at altitudes between 1,050 and 1,700 meters, directly at the foot of the Andes. Top quality is created here with meticulousness and great effort. Chief winemaker José Galante, one of Argentina's most influential oenologists, knows the Valle de Uco like hardly any other. A winery that impresses – in every respect.
