Salentein Cabernet Franc Reserve 2022 is produced in the Uco Valley of Mendoza, where Bodegas Salentein has become one of Argentina’s leading wineries. Established in the 1990s, Salentein was among the first to recognize the potential of high-altitude vineyards in the Andes, producing wines that combine intensity with freshness.

While Argentina is best known for Malbec, Cabernet Franc has emerged as one of the country’s most exciting success stories. The cooler climate of the Uco Valley allows Cabernet Franc to ripen slowly, preserving aromatics and structure. The 2022 vintage shows aromas of red cherry, bell pepper, and graphite, with herbal and spicy notes that give the wine both depth and elegance.

On the palate, it is vibrant and balanced, with fine tannins and a long finish. This wine demonstrates why Cabernet Franc is now seen as a rising star in Argentina, alongside Malbec, offering a distinctive and food-friendly profile.
