The Portillo Malbec impresses with its full-bodied taste and a velvety texture, making it perfect for special occasions. Aroma of red fruits such as plums and blackberries. Fruity, fresh due to the natural acidity, full and round with ripe tannins and a sweet, long-lasting finish.
The Bordeaux grape, originally from Argentina, is considered one of the most important grape varieties in Argentina. The grapes are processed using modern techniques. For example, cooled fermentation in large stainless steel tanks ensures that the wines retain their beautiful fruity character.
The character of this Portillo Malbec stems from the vineyard's location, at the foot of the Andes at an altitude of over 1,000 meters. The vines, which average 30 years old, must root deeply into the rocky soil to access moisture and nutrients, giving the wine its richness.
Bodegas Salentein was founded in 1997 by Dutch businessman and visionary Mijndert Pon. With Salentein as a trendsetter, Argentine wine is rapidly gaining popularity in the Netherlands. The vineyards at the foot of the Andes are ideally suited for producing top-quality wines.
This Malbec pairs excellently with grilled dishes, red meats, and hearty cheeses.
