ABOUT POSADA SALENTEIN - in their
own words: The the imposing background of the
mountains and the famous vineyards of the Uco Valley surrounding it, the Posada Salentein
can be found in the heart of the El Portillo, San Pablo and La Pampa estates. A magic
place where one can enjoy the hospitality of those who know how to be hosts, of the
regional meals served with the wines of Bodegas Salentein, as well as taking advantage of
the area to do trekking or have bicycle rides and tasting the wines in the cellars of the
winery; only to find on returning the warmth of a lit fireplace with a faint aroma of
spices in the air.
History of Bodgeas 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.
