Vineyard and Vinification
Bodegas Salentein's vineyards are located in the prestigious Uco Valley, at an altitude of 1,050 to 1,700 meters. This location, combined with cool nighttime temperatures and mineral soils, offers ideal conditions for the Malbec grape. The grapes are hand-picked and carefully selected to use only the finest fruit.
Vinification takes place using traditional methods, with the wine fermented in stainless steel tanks and then aged in French oak barrels. This aging adds complex notes of vanilla, spice, and a subtle oakiness, while preserving the wine's fruity character.
