Producer Information: Bodegas Salentein
Bodegas Salentein, situated in the heart of Argentina’s Uco Valley in Mendoza, was founded in the late 1990s by Dutch entrepreneur Mijndert Pon, who recognized the region’s high-altitude terroir as ideal for crafting expressive wines. The estate is distinguished by its commitment to sustainable viticulture and architectural integration with the Andean landscape, featuring gravity-flow winemaking techniques that preserve fruit purity and regional character. Beyond their flagship Malbecs, Salentein produces elegant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from vineyards at varying elevations, as well as limited-production sparkling wines that highlight Mendoza’s cool-climate potential.

Malbec is a popular red wine grape variety known for its rich, full-bodied character and deep flavors. Originating from France, particularly in the Cahors region, it has gained immense popularity in Argentina’s Mendoza region, where it thrives in the unique terroir. This wine typically showcases flavor notes of dark fruits like blackberry and plum, complemented by hints of chocolate, tobacco, and leather.
The aromatic profile of Malbec includes enticing scents of black cherry, violet, cocoa, and spice. Its texture is characterized by smooth tannins and a velvety mouthfeel that enhances its appeal. Malbec pairs beautifully with grilled meats such as steak and barbecued dishes, making it an excellent choice for casual dining or special occasions. Winemaking techniques often involve oak aging in French or American barrels to add complexity to the wine’s flavor profile.
