Salentein Gran VU Blend Valle de Uco 2019

The Bodegas Salentein in Mendoza, Argentina, is one of the most renowned wineries in South America. Outstanding vineyards situated at the foot of the Andes, a winemaker who was a professor of oenology and is today considered the expert on Argentinian viticulture, and cellars that are the envy of a number of French Grand Cru producers are only a few of the aces up the Salentein estate’s sleeve.What does an exceptional wine producer like Bodegas Salentein need to play its trump cards? Right - an iconic wine, a flagship to present the wine-making expertise at the highest level. The Gran VU is this premium, iconic blend produced by the Salentein estate. It consists of about 75% Malbec and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and remains for 24 months in French oak casks in order to age in peace.The Salentein Gran VU is a brilliant, intense dark red with violet glints in the glass. It is concentrated on the nose, offering complex aromas of black berries, liquorice and light notes of mint as well as spices and hints of graphite. On the palate, the wine shows an elegant structure, an incredibly full body and soft, velvety tannins that are already marvellously integrated. The finish is never-ending, leaving a lasting impression of a fantastic wine.We recommend decanting the Salentein Gran VU one hour before drinking it. Its ideal drinking temperature is about 16 °C (60.8 °F). The Gran VU can already be enjoyed now but will maintain its quality perfectly for several years to come.The Salentein estate also produces Argentinian beef. What could be more appropriate than to serve this wine with a delicious steak? The Gran VU is also ideal on its own – you’ll discover new aromas revealed with each and every sip.Wine Enthusiast 2016: 93 points - 2012; Expovina (Zurich, Switzerland) 2016: 93 points - 2012; Decanter Magazine 2016: 91 points - highly recommended - 2014.

Salentein Numina Gran Corte Red Blend 2022

The Numina Gran Corte from Argentina’s prestigious Salentein estate is part of the premium range of the winery, and thus simultaneously one of the best Argentine wines. At Salentein, the decades of expertise of oenologist Jose Galante, a perfect terroir, a bold approach to innovation, and substantial investment in its cellars and technology complement each other to create an extremely fruitful environment from which wines like the Numina emerge.Only the best Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot grapes are united to compose this unique blend. The Malbec variety, which is predominant in this wine, is the most widely established vine in Argentina. The grapes come from the Uco Valley in Mendoza, located at the foot of the Andes. The vines grow in vineyards at an altitude of up to 1,700 metres and benefit from lots of sun during the day and cooler temperatures at night. They are watered by the pure meltwater from the Andes.The Salentein Numina Gran Corte is a light, very intense crimson in colour. It is elegant and complex on the nose, offering notes of tobacco, cassis, bilberries, spices, vanilla and caramel. On the palate, this wine from South America shows all its typical characteristics, with lots of aromas of dark berries and soft, sweet and fine tannins. The finish is extremely long.This wine is the perfect blend of stunning fruit, which does not remain predominant but is compensated by sufficient complexity and depth.Decanted and enjoyed at a temperature of 16°C (60.8°F), the Salentein Numina Gran Corte is a very special delight. In particular, it is perfect to enjoy on its own, but also goes beautifully with grilled dishes, pasta, beef and game.

San Vicente Rioja DOCa 2021

San Vicente Rioja DOCa - Elegant Tempranillo red wine with depth and structureSince 1991, oenologist Marcos Eguren, scion of a long-established winegrowing family in Rioja, has been producing this grape juice, which is limited to around 60,000 bottles a year. His San Vincente is the modern version of a premium Rioja that combines the best of all Spanish wine worlds. How is this to be understood? The San Vincente preserves the traditions and classic virtues of a Rioja by being aged for 20 months in wooden barrels (90% French and 10% American oak) and then bottled unfiltered. The wine is therefore guaranteed to keep for a long time. However, Marcos Eguren goes far beyond this in his approach to creating a modern and qualitatively outstanding wine; he focuses on a more fruit-driven style than is usual in Rioja.Not just any vines are used, but the noble variety of Tempranillo, namely Tempranillo Peludo, from the company's own 18-hectare Finca la Canoca vineyard, which is located on the best clay and limestone terroir. The grapes are hand-selected twice to ensure that only the best grapes make it into the wine.It is also striking that the wine is vinified with such precision and high quality that vintage fluctuations are hardly noticeable. Every year, the San Vincente is a top-class Rioja with an exceptionally good price-performance ratio.A deep, dark red color greets the eye of the wine connoisseur. Dark and some red berries, herbs, chocolate and roasted aromas on the nose. Full-bodied, fleshy on the palate, elegance and power at eye level, balanced by good acidity. The use of the barrel is noticeable, but it is never intrusive or goes too far. Lots of harmony, depth, well-integrated tannins and a very long finish.Please decant at least one hour before drinking.Guia Proensa 100/100 points; Wine Advocate 94/100 points; Tim Atkin 96/100 points.
