Salentein Numina Cabernet Franc

A unique grape, perfectly executed by Bodega Salentein. This leading winery is located in Valle de Uco, a wine region in Argentina. The wines exude Argentina's character, but this magnificent winery has a Dutch foundation. The winery was founded by Mijnert Pon, a Dutch entrepreneur through and through. In 1992, he changed tack and built the impressive Bodega Salentein winery. The estate encompasses over 2,000 hectares, almost half of which are planted with grapes.

From Cabernet Franc to a fantastic red wine

This allows the vineyard's character to develop exceptionally well in the aroma and flavor of Salentein Numina Cabernet Franc. Harvesting is done by hand. This method allows for stricter selection, which is a crucial requirement. Only the finest grapes are considered for Salentein Numina Cabernet Franc.
