92 / 100"(2018 vintage) Uco Valley pioneer Bodegas Salentein marks its 20th vintage in the region with the release of its 2018 wines. This Malbec has deep savoury aromas with black fruit and violets. There's a floral edge to the silky black fruit on the palate too, balanced by fresh acidity, with smooth tannins and a lick of vanilla spice from 12 months in French oak. Lingering and elegant.

Tasting Notes
A multi-award winning Malbec from Argentina that is a real hearty and full-bodied wine. On the nose, it is intense and complex with outstanding aromas of red fruits, black berries, as well as delicate floral notes. In the mouth, its entry is sweet and mild. It is a fruity and fresh wine with good intensity. In the middle mouth, it is wide with a lingering finish.
"The goal of Bodegas Salentein is clear: to produce first-rate wines, committed with the earth where they come from. During its preparation, Salentein respects nature and, at the same time, takes part in the life of the area’s community, because the people become an essential component that reflects in the wine expression." - Bodegas Salentein
