The Salentein Portillo Merlot is wonderfully fruity and fresh. It is redolent of dark fruit and paprika, which is typical of Merlot wines. The fruity aromas continue unabated on the palate, along with great harmony and richness. This wine goes down very smoothly, and is simply delightfully round and moreish.

The Bodegas Salentein Portillo Merlot is lovely to enjoy on its own but also goes beautifully with light meat or pasta dishes.

Product recommendation

Salentein Barrel Selection Merlot
This Barrel Selection wine from the Bodegas Salentein estate, located in the Uco Valley at the foot of the Andes in Argentina, is a pure varietal Merlot. Winemaker José Galante, a former professor of oenology at the University of Maza, is one of Argentina’s most renowned and successful oenologists. With this wine, he created a wonderfully fruity, full-bodied Merlot distinguished by its intensity as well as its subtle nuances. This is due particularly to the hot temperatures prevailing in the Uco Valley during the day, accompanied by cool nights, ensuring optimal ripening of the grapes. The Barrel Selection Merlot is a deep red with blue glints in the glass. On the nose, it offers lots of fruit and is redolent of ripe quinces, wild berries and spices, along with nuances of tobacco and vanilla that result from the ageing in French oak casks. On the palate, the wine is extremely full-bodied and soft, showing a superb structure with ripe, very fine tannins and a long, charming finish. This Barrel Selection Merlot not only shows an immense, fruity fullness but is also rich in substance and concentration, giving it much more character than its competitors. This wine is always the right choice for those who prefer typical and thus not merely fruity Merlot wines. In this respect, the Salentein Barrel Selection Merlot is exactly what Bodegas Salentein wants to achieve: to produce a wine that wonderfully reflects the marvellous terroir of its vineyards located in Mendoza. This Merlot is lovely to enjoy on its own. It also goes beautifully with ripe hard cheeses, dishes with beef and other red meat, and anything grilled. We recommend serving it at a temperature of 16 °C (60.8 °F) and decanting the wine half an hour before drinking it.

Salentein Barrel Selection Cabernet Sauvignon
Since its founding in 1995, Bodegas Salentein has spared no effort to become one of the premium wineries in Argentina. The winery succeeded in recruiting star oenologist José Galante, and invested millions in the construction of the wine cellar that was built underground in the shape of a cross and equipped with the latest technology. The Salentein Barrel Selection Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most outstanding results of these efforts. It is a pure varietal Cabernet Sauvignon that matured for 12 months in French oak casks before it was bottled. It is a striking, intensely dark red – almost black - in the glass, offering the classic Cabernet Sauvignon aromas of currants, pepper and vanilla. It is fleshy on the palate, showing a very elegant structure and fine, soft, well-integrated tannins. The finish is long and voluminous. Those who prefer typical Cabernet Sauvignon wines will be delighted by this Salentein Barrel Selection. It is best served at a temperature of 16-18 °C (60.8-64.4 °F) and goes beautifully with lamb, game and mildly seasoned red meat. It is also an ideal accompaniment to hard cheeses. We recommend decanting the wine before drinking it so that the Salentein Barrel Selection Cabernet Sauvignon can develop its aromas to the fullest. Wine critics love this Cabernet Sauvignon and assess it as follows: Tim Atkin: 93 out of 100 points; James Suckling: 91 out of 100 points; Mundus Vini: Gold medal; Decanter World Wine Awards: Trophy 2003.
