The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

The Salentein Cuvée Exceptionnelle Doux is a masterpiece of sparkling wine, sourced from the prestigious vineyards of Bodegas Salentein in Argentina. With an enchanting pale yellow color and subtle greenish hues, this wine offers a visual feast enhanced by the lingering, fine mousse. The nose is an explosion of fruity aromas, beautifully blending Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc influences. Think the freshness of green apple and pineapple, mingled with vibrant notes of pink grapefruit. On the palate, this wine reveals a refreshing acidity and a complex flavor experience with delicate citrus and fruit notes.

Bodegas Salentein is a name synonymous with excellence in the wine world, founded by Dutch businessman and visionary Mijndert Pon. The project began in 1997, and construction of the impressive bodega was completed in 1999. However, the Salentein vineyards, located in the beautiful Uco Valley, have a much longer history and are renowned for their excellent terroir and innovative winemaking techniques. Mijndert Pon's vision was to create wines that reflect the soul of Argentina, and the Cuvée Exceptionnelle Doux is a magnificent example.

The Cuvée Exceptionnelle Doux is made from carefully selected grapes from various plots of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, located at high altitudes in the Finca El Oasis and Finca La Pampa vineyards. The grapes are harvested using state-of-the-art machinery, and vinification begins with destemming in the vineyards. The grapes are then pressed, separating the must from the skins and seeds. After cold static decantation, alcoholic fermentation begins. The secondary fermentation for carbonation begins with the addition of sucrose and selected yeasts, after which the wine is aged on its lees. The result is a sparkling wine of exceptional quality, characterized by a fresh and lively flavor with a long, elegant, and slightly sweet finish. The Salentein Cuvée Exceptionnelle Doux is a perfect choice as an aperitif, to toast special occasions, or simply as a sparkling treat. This wine embodies the art and passion of Bodegas Salentein and offers a unique experience that will delight both the casual wine lover and the true connoisseur. Discover the sparkling magic of Salentein and savor a wine that captures the essence of Argentina in every glass.
