Vintage Report
The 2023 vintage in Argentina has been designated as 'NT' (not yet tasted/tested) by Robert Parker. This means that there is currently insufficient data available to assign a definitive quality assessment to this vintage.
Deep in the shadow of the majestic Andes, a wine with a soft character and a rich soul emerges: the Portillo Merlot from Salentein. Situated at an impressive 1,100 meters, the Merlot grapes, grown at 1,000 meters, receive that extra bit of sunshine. This careful positioning is no coincidence, as the Merlot grape craves more warmth and a little less coolness.
Salentein: From Humble Beginnings to Argentine Wine Icon
While Salentein originated as a modest enterprise, it quickly redefined the boundaries of viticulture. Founded in 1992, under the inspiring leadership of Dutch entrepreneur Mijndert Pon, a vision was born. A vision that melds sustainability, quality, and community. With a passion for environmentally friendly viticulture, Salentein strives for environmentally neutral production, going beyond just wine. The winery aims to engage and strengthen the local community through both job creation and education.Portillo Merlot: A Symphony of Aromas and Flavors
At Salentein, art meets science. While modern technologies blend seamlessly with traditional methods, Portillo Merlot matures in gleaming stainless steel tanks. These thirty-year-old vines, perched high and meticulously tended, imbue the wine with its refreshing freshness and deep intensity. As soon as the glass is raised, the air is filled with aromas of juicy raspberries, cherries, and currants, interspersed with subtle spicy notes. At the table, Portillo Merlot reveals itself as an ideal companion for red meat, poultry, and mature cheeses. Each sip offers a soft, fruity embrace, complemented by herbal notes and a finish that is both refined and robust.Product details
