Product Notes

Salentein Barrel Selection Malbec, an Argentinian beauty, boasts a rich, deep ruby hue. This elegant red reveals intense aromas of ripe red fruits, plums, and blackberries, mingled with hints of vanilla and chocolate – thanks to its maturation in French oak barrels. Delighting the palate, it is well-structured and tastefully complex, oozing rich, velvety tannins that harmoniously blend with a lingering, fruit-filled finish. A stunning toast to Argentina’s prime winemaking skills, the Salentein Barrel Selection Malbec makes a gracious partner to hearty meat dishes, enhancing every gastronomic experience.

Tasting Notes

Deep red-purple coloured wine, very intense nose with notes of ripe blackberry, blueberry and redcurrant, with subtle hints of violet. The silky palate has a crisp, balancing acidity which shows the fruit and floral notes backed by vanilla on the lingering finish.

About the Winery

A sensory cornucopia awaits in the heart of Argentina at Salentein Winery, a distinguished destination for wine lovers. Nestled amidst the rugged foothills of the Andes Mountains, this renowned winery seamlessly blends tradition, innovation and artistry to create an unforgettable experience.

Founded in the late 1900s, the Salentein Winery exhibits sophistication and grandeur through its architecture and design. The classic aesthetic, featuring four awe-inspiring pyramid-shaped structures, resembles an enchanting relic of the past. Yet, the winery astounds with state-of-the-art facilities and pioneering viticulture techniques.

A distinguishing feature of Salentein is the diversity of its vineyards. Spread across three distinct microclimates, each vineyard is exquisitely managed to ensure the highest quality grapes. To take full advantage of their distinctive vineyards, the oenologists meticulously monitor the conditions and maintain diligent precision during harvest.

The winery's reputation is well-earned, it is known globally for producing some of the finest Argentinian Malbec, Merlot, and Pinot Noir. Each bottle communicates the dedication of the winemakers and the unique terroir of the Uco Valley. A bouquet of intense flavours and aromas are held within each bottle, promising an enchanting experience with every opened cork.

But Salentein is more than just wine. It's an experience. Surprise elements such as an art gallery and a performance hall create a multi-dimensional appeal. The Killka Art Gallery exhibits works from renowned Argentine and international artists, while the barrel-shaped concert hall is known for impressive performances.

Visitors can embark on guided tours, indulge in a variety of tasting sessions, dine at the exquisite on-site restaurant or partake in cooking classes that emphasise the pairing of food with wine. Thus, celebrating the full expression of Argentinian culture.

Once you've visited, it's clear to see how Salentein Winery has become an emblem of excellence in the world’s wine tapestry. It is much more than a destination, it's a fascinating journey into the world of vine and wine.
