The Cheval des Andes vineyards are located in the wine heart of Argentina, Mendoza. Here, the grape vines are cultivated with great care. From the beautiful vines, you'll see only gems of grapes. This magnificent red wine is a unique Argentinean blend of typical French grape varieties: Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. A Bordeaux wine with an Argentinean twist. The vines are all at least 80 years old and therefore produce few, but still perfect, grapes. The high altitude of the vineyards allows the grapes to mature in complete tranquility. The grapes receive ample warmth from the sun, but also the delightful coolness of the night and the wind that blows through the Andes. Meltwater, which slowly drips down from the perpetually snow-capped peaks, creates a natural irrigation system. This ensures the grapes receive sufficient, very pure water.

The harvest for this Argentinian red wine is carried out entirely by hand, very early in the morning. This way, the grapes are still dormant and cool, minimizing damage to the skins. The grapes are then transported in small crates to the press, where they are pressed very gently. This process releases only the finest juice. After vinification, this red wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. After bottling, it returns to the Cheval des Andes cellars for 24 months of bottle aging.

A special feature of this winery is the cellar, where the wine is aged in a circle. The cellars of Bodega Salentein are reminiscent of an amphitheater. Especially in the Netherlands, partly due to Mijndert Pon's roots, Bodega Salentein is highly regarded and has been among the top Argentine wines for years.

The grapes for Salentein Primus Malbec are grown only in select plots and are only produced in the best years. Therefore, the availability of Salentein Primus Malbec is limited! After harvest, the grapes are fermented in wooden barrels. The oak aging is extremely long: 19 months in new oak. Because the oak is new, it releases a wealth of flavor. The wine is bottled unfiltered and matured in the bottle for a further 12 months.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Impressions of Salentein Primus Malbec\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe color is black-red, almost ink-like.

This combination is unique and exceptionally well-developed. What a rich, powerful wine this is, thanks in part to the long oak aging that makes it perfect.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Twelve months of wood aging for De Sangre Red Blend\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nFor this special blend, Luigi Bosca selects grapes from the finest plots in his Los Nobles, Las Compuertas, and El Paraiso vineyards in the Maipo subregion of Mendoza, a region characterized by high temperature fluctuations between day and night, resulting in optimal ripeness. The soils are shallow and consist primarily of sandy loam, clay, and gravel. The vines are on average between 30 and 90 years old.\n\n\n \nThe three varieties are vinified separately in exactly the same way. The grapes are hand-picked into 18-20 kg boxes, clusters are selected, then destemmed, and the best grapes are chosen. The must is cold-milled for five to seven days at a temperature of 10-15 degrees Celsius. It is then fermented with selected yeasts in 15,000-liter stainless steel tanks with delestages and pressings. Once fermentation is complete, the three varieties are aged separately for twelve months in French oak (90 percent) and American oak (10 percent) barrels. After aging is complete, the final blend is ready, and the wine is stabilized, filtered, and bottled. The wine is then aged for a year in the winery before being released.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e A full-bodied aromatic red wine from Luigi Bosca\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe aroma reveals a beautiful bouquet of black fruit with hints of cedar, vanilla, spices, and a touch of leather and tobacco. The vineyard is situated high up, resulting in intense sunshine and cool nights, making it an ideal area for producing this Luigi Bosca de Sangre. This is also evident in the palate, which is full-bodied and aromatic. A beautiful, classic wine with nuances of cherry and blackberry, and of course, oak, vanilla, and licorice. Delicious with beef, lamb, spicy dishes, and poultry.","brand":"Walraven","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775755063375,"sku":"4757","price":19.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/luigi-bosca-de-sangre_4757.webp?v=1770046356"},{"product_id":"phebus-syrah","title":"Phebus Syrah","description":"Brace yourself for a sensational taste experience!
