{"product_id":"salentein-barrel-selection-malbec","title":"Salentein Barrel Selection Malbec","description":"\u003cp\u003eDeep and full-bodied: The Barrel Selection Malbec from Salentein shows what the highlands of Mendoza can get out of this grape variety — dense fruit, velvety texture, long finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Bodegas Salenstein is situated at an altitude of over 1,000 meters in the Uco Valley, one of Argentina\u0026#39;s coldest and driest wine-growing regions. The extreme day-night temperature fluctuations result in slow ripening, high fruit concentration, and natural acidity. The Barrel Selection matures for several months in oak barrels—hence the characteristic fusion of fruit and wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the glass: Aromas of plum, black cherry, and blackberry, underpinned by vanilla, dark chocolate, and a hint of cedar. On the palate, full-bodied with soft, well-integrated tannins and a lingering, slightly spicy finish. No overpowering oak influence—fruit and barrel aging maintain a perfect balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eServing suggestion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Best served at 17–18 °C. Pairs well with pan-seared beef fillet, grilled lamb chop with herbs, or a spicy chimichurri steak. Also enjoyable with hard cheeses like Manchego. Ready to drink now, but will easily keep until 2028.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salentein","offers":[{"title":"2023","offer_id":52694849126736,"sku":"V08370","price":14.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2024","offer_id":52866480472400,"sku":"V08370-2024","price":14.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/vinoscout_salentein_barrel_selection_malbec.webp?v=1771237663","url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/products\/salentein-barrel-selection-malbec","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
