The thirty-year-old vines of Bodegas Salentijn have been privileged to thrive in Mendoza's unique climate, where the difference between day and night temperatures promotes the development of vibrant, fresh fruit flavors. Behind this winery lies the vision of Dutch businessman Mijndert Pon, who founded it in 1992. With its unique cross-shaped design, each wing of Bodegas Salentijn houses a small winery. While the ground floor houses stainless steel tanks for cooled fermentation, a lower level, deep underground, houses oak barrels where the wine matures. Thanks to innovative gravity flow technology, the wine is seamlessly transferred from the tanks to the barrels.
Bodegas Salentijn strives to produce Argentine wines of the highest quality, with a deep respect for both nature and community. Their commitment extends to creating jobs and educating local people. Portillo Chardonnay, one of their flagship wines, is a celebration of these values. This white wine exudes a harmonious balance of subtle elegance, creamy texture, and an impressive finish. Its aromas transport you to a fresh fruit paradise, complemented by a hint of mint. A true treasure in any wine collection.
