Bodegas Salentein Portillo Malbec

Bodegas Salentein's Portillo Malbec is a refined Argentine red from Mendoza, blending 85% Malbec with 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged 15 months in new French oak, it delivers a medium-full body with smooth, round structure. Dominant blackberry and plum aromas are complemented by violet florality and dark fruit depth. Oak aging introduces vanilla, cocoa, and subtle spice notes, while earthy undertones add complexity. The palate is fruit-forward yet balanced, with medium acidity and medium-high tannins that frame the wine without harshness. A versatile food wine suited to grilled red meats, braised beef, and aged cheeses.
