A full-bodied and smooth Malbec lush on the palate with ripe dark berry, plum, earthy florals and cold tea flavours on the palate. Enjoy now or hold for another three years.

Reviews and Ratings

Linda Mertes WSET 2 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A very good valued Argentinian Malbec varietal . Presents medium ruby in the glass with vanilla, tobacco and dark fruit aromas. Medium acidity and tannins with a smooth finish. Serve with tapas or beef appetizers.
From the Uco Valley, Mendoza, Salentein 2017 Malbec Reserva is dry, smooth and vibrant on the palate with liquid blueberry, dark plum, earthy floral and savoury herb, pepper spice flavours. Tannins are smooth and this Malbec is at its prime now, but has the structure, fruit and acidity to enjoy over the next three years. Pair with grilled meats. - Community Wine Reviews
