Buy or order Portillo by Salentein wine

The driving force behind Portillo is the spectacular Salentein winery, founded in the 1990s by Dutch businessman Mijndert Pon. Portillo's wines therefore have a distinctly Dutch flavor. From Alto Valle de Uco, Salentein wines conquered the world. However, Bodegas Salentein decided to establish a new winery to make the unparalleled quality of Argentine wines available to every wine drinker.

Portillo wines, like Salentein wines, originate in Mendoza. This wine region is essentially the cradle of all Argentine wines. The lion's share of domestic production comes from this rugged region nestled in the Andes Mountains. Portillo wines are named after a historic mountain pass between the Andes and the Uco Valley, the base of Salentein. This pass was once used by Charles Darwin and remains the link between Portillo and Salentein to this day.

What is our favorite Portillo wine?

Portillo stands for simplicity, simple, friendly, without compromising on quality. These are lively wines that are truly perfect for every day. They are varietal wines, meaning they are made from a single grape variety. The Malbec and Chardonnay grapes play a starring role. But Sauvignon Blanc, for example, also plays a prominent role in Portillo's vineyards. For example, Portillo Dulce, a sweet wine from Argentina, is made from the Sauvignon Blanc grape, a characteristic of which Portillo is quite proud. A small portion of the vineyards is reserved for the soft Merlot and the extravagant Pinot Noir grape.

Large bottles of Portillo wine

Portillo also offers large bottles of wine. For example, Portillo's flagship wine, Portillo Malbec, is available in a Magnum bottle. This means you get twice the amount of red wine than in a regular bottle. Ideal for a larger gathering. Portillo's choice to create a large bottle of wine from the Malbec grape is no coincidence. For generations, Malbec has been considered Argentina's national grape.
