Portillo Chardonnay

Nestled deep in the heart of Mendoza, one of Argentina's most renowned wine regions, lies a gem of a winery: Bodegas Salentine. With a breathtaking location at an altitude of 1,100 meters, on the shadows of the majestic Andes, this renowned winery is a symbol of quality and tradition. Here, they produce the renowned Portillo white wine, a shimmering, golden-green creation that captures the essence of the Valle de Uco in every sip. A tribute to the Chardonnay grapes that thrive here, the wine treats the nose to invigorating aromas of mango, pineapple, red apple, and pear.

The Art of Wood Aging at Bodegas Salentijn

The thirty-year-old vines of Bodegas Salentijn have been privileged to thrive in Mendoza's unique climate, where the difference between day and night temperatures promotes the development of vibrant, fresh fruit flavors. Behind this winery lies the vision of Dutch businessman Mijndert Pon, who founded it in 1992. With its unique cross-shaped design, each wing of Bodegas Salentijn houses a small winery. While the ground floor houses stainless steel tanks for cooled fermentation, a lower level, deep underground, houses oak barrels where the wine matures. Thanks to innovative gravity flow technology, the wine is seamlessly transferred from the tanks to the barrels.
