Salentein Barrel Selection Chardonnay is a delicious Argentinian Chardonnay from winery Salentein. The vineyards are located in the heart of Alto Valle de Uco, Argentina, over 1200 meters above sea level. The soil consists of coarse rock, which provides perfect water drainage. The nights are cool due to descending air from the Andes and the days are sunny and warm. All this gives the wine its unique fruity and ripe characteristics.
The grapes are picked by hand. A combination of modern and traditional techniques is used. Salentein Chardonnay is a sunny, radiant and golden yellow Argentinian chardonnay. Elegant and creamy. Full, rich and sultry aroma of vanilla, honey, caramel, banana, ripe pineapple and other tropical fruit.
