About Bodega Salentein - in their own words:

The lands that now belong to this enterprise witnessed feats and great deeds; a region where the good will and efforts were transmitted from generation to generation, including not only the indigenous people and Jesuit missions but also important figures such as General San Martin. Finca San Pablo, one of the company's properties, has a very rich history that goes back to the 17th century. In the past, it was part of the estancia called "De Arriba", that belonged to the Society of Jesus. The ruins of "Casa Grande" are located at more than 1,500 metres above sea level, in the heart of the finca. This historic farmhouse, surrounded by an old grove, was built by the Jesuits, who were already developing viticultural activities. Nowadays, after more than 200 years, Bodegas Salentein grows Pinot Noir in Finca San Pablo, reliving that old great deed with a forward-looking approach and the aim of making a worldwide wine with a remarkable origin.

Literally at the foot of the Andes, Bodegas Salentein are situated in a prime location, at more than 1.200 metres above sea level, surrounded by the company's fincas. The winery, unique in the region, is built in the shape of a cross. Each of the four wings is a small winery with 2 sections: the first one, at ground level, houses the stainless steel tanks, while the second one, underground, is used for maturing the wine in oak casks at 8 metres below ground level. The four wineries come together in a central chamber resembling an amphitheater and there they share the bottling facilities.
