The best Merlot wine from Bodega Salentein

This red wine comes from Bodega Salentein. The Merlot vines for this Salentein Barrel Merlot are planted in the Valle de Uco in Mendoza. Mendoza is Argentina's most famous wine region, home to many great wines. The vineyards are planted on coarse, rocky soil, perfect for water permeability. At an altitude of 1200 meters, the grapes enjoy abundant sunshine and warmth during the day and a pleasant coolness at night, creating almost perfect growing conditions for the grapes. To add further complexity, the wines are aged for nine months in French oak barrels.
