Personalised Wine Gift – Salentein Pinot Noir & Chardonnay

More information about the wines:
Bodegas Salentein has a special history. It was founded in 1992 by the Dutch entrepreneur Mijndert Pon (who became rich and famous dealing in Volkswagen automobiles). He decided to set up a vineyard high-up on one of the outer mountain ranges of the Andes. 
The vineyards are situated in the heart of the Alto Valle de Uco, at a height of more than 1200 metres. De soil is rocky and this keeps the land well drained. The nights are cool due to the mountain air descending from the Andes, the days are sunny and warm. The grapes are harvested by hand and processed with the use of modern insights and the latest technology. Height, cool nights and warm sunny days give this wine a strong character. The entrepreneurship of the Pon family does the rest. A unique wine bodega with a world-wide success. 

About the Pinot Noir:
This is a lovely red wine. A real Salentein and a real Pinot Noir in one, characteristically bright red in colour and what you might call ‘a rich wine’. In the taste you can distinguish the aromas of red fruit, herbs, vanilla and the wood tones of the oak wood barrels. A smooth and juicy wine, with a full taste and a long lasting finish.

About the Chardonnay:
A sunny and golden coloured white wine. Another great name in our assortment, a top class Chardonnay and an exponent of a wanted brand: Salentein. The perfect balance between fruit and wood tones is to be distinguished in this smooth and sparkling Chardonnay. You can also taste the aromas of pear, citrus, honey, butter and caramel. A rich pallet is reflected in your glass, with a full bodied and long lasting finish.
