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.
