Description

The Salentein Cuvée Exceptionnelle Brut is a testament to Argentina's capability to produce world-class sparkling wines. Hailing from the prestigious Mendoza region, this sparkling wine is crafted by Bodegas Salentein, a winery renowned for its commitment to quality and innovation. This particular bottling is made with the traditional method, ensuring the fine bubbles and the rich complexity.

The blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes creates a symphony of flavors on the palate, starting with the vibrant fruit notes of green apple, pear, and citrus, followed by delicate hints of toast and brioche from the extended lees ageing. The balance of the acidity and the elegance of the finish makes it a perfect companion for a variety of dishes. Its dry style makes it a great start for any meal, and it is very refreshing.

Salentein, situated in the Uco Valley, is a winery that embodies the unique terroir of Mendoza, where high altitude vineyards and a dry climate, produce complex and aromatic grapes. The Cuvée Exceptionnelle Brut is a great example of that and is made with the utmost care.

Serving this sparkling wine chilled at around 8°C allows the aromas to fully express themselves and provides the most pleasant tasting experience. It is an ideal choice for those who appreciate a well-crafted sparkling wine that goes beyond the ordinary. Try this wine as an aperitif or with light seafood dishes such as sushi or ceviche, or with a selection of creamy cheeses. It also fits perfectly with salty appetizers. For a main course try it with fried seafood or fish.
