In 1996, Dutch entrepreneur Mijndert Pon purchased the estate in what initially seemed to be a rocky desert. He ambitiously embarked on planting vineyards at high altitudes with the aim of producing ‘wines like no other.’ A year later, construction of the magnificent cross-shaped winery began. The four wings of the landmark winery each ferment the wines before gravity transfers it to the underground cellars. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe high-altitude vines are planted at an elevation of between 1,050 and 1,600 metres, against the breathtaking backdrop of the Andes Mountains. At this altitude, the vines benefit from optimal diurnal temperature differences and a diverse terroir in which they flourish. Today, Bodegas Salentein is one of the most admired Argentine wineries - not just in the Uco Valley, but in the world. Their focus is producing terroir-driven wines which express the essence of the Uco Valley, and they do so with great purity and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bodegas-salentein-elevado-tinto","title":"Bodegas Salentein 'Elevado' Tinto 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Bodegas Salentein 'Elevado' Tinto is ared wine blend of Syrah (60%) and Malbec (40%) grapes grown on vineyards in the Tulum Valley subregion of San Juan within the large region of Cuyo, at an average altitude of 650 metres above sea level. At the winery the Syrah and Malbec varieties were fermented separately and kept separately, in contact with French oak for four months, during which time they underwent malolactic conversion, which rounded out the palate. Final blending and filtering were carried out prior to bottling. The final wine is a juicy and balanced blend of Syrah and Malbec with delicious notes of ripe blueberries and raspberries complemented by smoky, spicy hints on the long finish.

Both grape varieties were harvested separately at optimal ripeness. The Sauvignon Blanc, displaying a typical warm-region profile, was picked early to protect the thin skinned berries from sun damage. Fermentation took place reductively in stainless steel vessels and was then separated from the lees and chilled until blending. The Chardonnay grapes were harvested mid-season and fermented in stainless steel before undergoing four months of ageing on fine lees to enhance texture. 10% of the Chardonnay had gentle contact with untoasted American oak to add complexity. The Bodegas Salentein 'Elevado' Blanco is a refreshing blend offering captivating aromas of pink grapefruit, herbal tones, vanilla and mango. The smooth, unctuous palate is beautifully balanced by a long, crisp finish.
