Product Notes

Salentein Primus Malbec is a luscious and complex Argentine wine that captures the essence of the Uco Valley's remarkable terroir. This sophisticated red offers a rich bouquet of blackberries, cassis, and plums, intertwined with hints of vanilla, tobacco, and spicy oak. Its deep, velvety texture embraces the palate, delivering a perfect balance between fruitiness, acidity, and silky tannins. Crafted with utmost care by Bodega Salentein, one of Argentina's most prestigious wineries, Primus Malbec is a true expression of the Malbec grape's potential. With its elegant structure and long, lingering finish, this wine is an absolute delight that pairs beautifully with hearty dishes or can be savored leisurely on its own.

Tasting Notes

Intense, complex aroma of red and black berries, spices, such as clove and black pepper, the palate is full-bodied yet remarkably well-balanced with plenty of freshness to carry the fruit
