This Barrel Selection from the Argentinian winery Bodegas Salentein in the Valle de Uco at the foot of the Andes is a single-varietal Merlot. Winemaker José Galante, one of Argentina's best-known and most successful oenologists and a former professor at the University of Maza, has created a full-bodied, wonderfully fruity Merlot that is as intense as it is nuanced.

This is due in particular to the high temperatures during the day in the Uco Valley, which are accompanied by cool nights, so that optimal ripening of the grapes is guaranteed.

The Barrel Selection Merlot has a deep red color with hints of blue. The nose reveals fruit, ripe quinces, wild berries and spices, combined with tobacco and vanilla nuances from ageing in French oak barrels. The palate is extremely full-bodied, soft and superbly structured, with ripe and very fine tannins and a long, flattering finish.

This Barrel Selection Merlot not only shows a great, fruity richness, but also has a lot of substance and concentration and therefore much more character than its competitors. If you are looking for the typical and not just fruity type of Merlot, this is the wine for you. In this respect, the Salentein Barrel Selection Merlot is exactly what Bodegas Salentein want to achieve, namely to bring the wonderful terroir of their vineyards in Mendoza into the bottle.

This Merlot is a pleasure on its own. As a food pairing, it loves matured hard cheese, but also all dishes with beef, red meat and anything grilled. We recommend serving this red wine at a drinking temperature of 16 degrees and decanting it half an hour beforehand.

Bodega Salentein

Salentein zählt zu den Ausnahme-Weingüter in der neuen Welt. Dabei ist die Winery nur ein Ausschnitt aus dem großen Portfolio dieses Unternehmens, dass seit 1992 in Argentinien tätig ist und den Weinbau seit 1995 betreibt. In Uruguay unter dem Namen Gran Pedro seit 2003 und in Australien als GP Cattle seit 2006 bekannt, ist neben Wein auch Farming, Premium Beef und Hotelerie auf dem Programm, so, als wolle man im Bereich der Gaumenfreuden alles selbst in die Hand nehmen und nichts dem Zufall überlassen.

Die Winery ist dabei ein sehr wichtig Bestandteil von Salentein und wurde bereits im Jahre 2003 als "Argentinian Winery of the Year" ausgezeichnet. Chef-Winemaker ist seit 2010 José Galante, der als einer der besten und erfolgreichsten Önologen Argentiniens gilt. Mit über 30 Jahren Berufserfahrung und einer 10 jährigen Tätigkeit als Dozent am Lehrstuhl für Önologie an der Universität Maza, ist er immer noch beratend in aller Welt unterwegs.

Das Weingut selbst ist gelegen im Valle de Uco am Fuße der Anden und die Reben sind bis auf eine Höhe von 1500 Metern gepflanzt. Es handelt sich um beste Lagen, teils mit einer Geschichte, die bis in das 17. Jahrhundert zurückreicht.

Angepflanzt werden sowohl autochtone Rebsorten, als auch die klassischen Vertreter wie Merlot, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir oder Cabernet Sauvignon. Die tagsüber vorhandene Hitze wird balanciert durch kühle Nächte, wodurch die Reifezeit der Trauben verlängert wird und herrlich geschmacks- und fruchtintensive Weine erzielt werden. Das trockene Klima erfordert ein System der künstliche Bewässerung, welches das Schmelzwasser der Anden in die Rebgärten transportiert.

Man scheut bei den Bodegas Salentein keine Mühe, um hochwertige Weine zu keltern, die einen Ruf weit über Argentinien hinaus genießen. Die Bodega selbst ist ein imposanter Bau, mit einem riesigen unterirdischen Keller, der bereits mehrere Architekturpreise gewonnen hat.

Salentein Barrel Selection Cabernet Sauvignon
Salentein Barrel Selection Cabernet Sauvignon
Since its foundation in 1995, Bodegas Salentein has spared no effort to become one of the premium wineries in Argentina. They succeeded in hiring the star oenologist José Galante; millions were invested in the construction of the wine cellar, which was built underground in the shape of a cross using state-of-the-art technology. The Barrel Selection Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the outstanding results of this remarkable effort.This red wine from the Bodega Salentein winery is a pure Cabernet Sauvignon that was allowed to mature for 12 months in French oak barrels before being bottled. Its intensely dark, almost red-black color is striking in the glass. It has a classic Cabernet Sauvignon aroma, with blackcurrant, pepper and vanilla. Lots of flesh on the palate, with a very elegant structure and well-integrated, soft and fine tannins. The finish is long and full-bodied. Lovers of typical Cabernet Sauvignons will be delighted with the Argentinian Salentein Barrel Selection.This dry red wine is best served at 16-18 degrees and is an excellent accompaniment to grilled meat, lamb, game and mildly spiced red meat, as well as hard cheeses. A little decanting allows the aromas to come into their own.

Salentein Barrel Selection Chardonnay
Bodegas Salentein in Argentina's Valle de Uco, which is close to Mendoza, is one of the most established wineries in South America. Not only the building itself, with its cross-shaped storage cellar sunk deep into the ground, but also the range of wines on offer is impressive.The Salentein Barrel Selection Chardonnay is a pure Chardonnay that was allowed to mature for 6 months in American oak before being bottled.A bright yellow color greets the eye of the connoisseur. The nose is wonderfully full-bodied with aromas of pears, tropical fruits such as honeydew melon and limes, as well as apples, cloves and lime blossom. The palate is soft and flatteringly broad with a great melting texture. Subtle barrel notes support the hints of tropical fruit and a beautiful acidity balances out the opulence of the dry Chardonnay perfectly. The finish is a long reverberation of gentle elegance and silkiness.We recommend the Salentein Barrel Selection Chardonnay as an aperitif, solo, but also as a convincing accompaniment to food. This Argentinian white wine goes perfectly with shellfish and crustaceans, salmon, pasta, poultry, veal and young cheese.
