Salentein Selection Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Salentein Selection Sauvignon Blanc
Drinking advice
Meal salads with crustaceans or shellfish become a true culinary experience with this wine! Goat cheeses or (spicy) Asian dishes are also definitely worth recommending.
Wine House
The wine is made under the direction of Bodegas Salentein, the very prestigious wine project of the Dutchman M. Pon started in 1997. Trendsetter in Argentinian wine and ideal for top quality wine.
Vinification
This is the exception in the Barrel Selection range. There is no maturation in wooden barrels and so this wine is given the title 'Selection'. This Salentein wine is matured on its own yeast (lie) for 3 months, which gives the wine its floral touch. For the Sauvignon Blanc, we work very carefully to prevent the grapes from oxidizing before they arrive in the wine cellar, which is why the grapes are also harvested in the cool of the night.
Origin
The vineyards are located in Alto Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Mendoza, 1300 meters above sea level. The soil consists of coarse rock, which provides perfect water drainage. The nights are cool and the days sunny and warm. All this gives the wine its unique characteristics.
