This single lot Pinot Noir has a lovely combination of intensity and freshness, with complex layers of raspberry liqueur, ripe strawberries and cocoa and a long, slightly saline finish. Another impressive Lot wine from one of the valley’s most iconic producers.

More about the wine

This more humid, cooler sub-region of the Uco Valley is good terrain for Pinot Noir and this top pour from Salentein proves how good it can be. Deep cherry, truffle and dried rose petal aromas make for a charming wine with fresh acidity and a long finish. With this textured and elegant wine, winemaker Pepe Gallante shows how it’s done without overdoing it.

More about the winery

Salentein winery is easily one of the most impressive wineries to visit in Mendoza. Founded in 1996 by a Dutch entrepreneur, the estate is based in the heart of the Uco Valley with some of the most striking modern architecture in Argentina.

More about the wine

Chacra’s old-vine Pinot Noir has long been one of the best in South America, and this is the grand cru of their impressive portfolio: a lo-fi Pinot Noir made with grapes from vines planted in 1932. With intoxicating perfume and exotic spice on the nose, filled with aromas of wild meadow flowers and crushed berries, the finish is delicate, elegant and long. Deservedly an icon of Argentine Pinot.
