2022 Salentein Primus Chardonnay

Salentein Primus Chardonnay 2022 is a premium white wine from Mendoza that shows the polished, high-altitude style Argentina is increasingly known for. Crafted by Salentein’s flagship Primus line, it combines freshness, precision, and a refined sense of balance, making it a standout choice for Chardonnay lovers seeking something elegant and distinctive.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically presents a bright golden-yellow colour with a clean, luminous sheen. The nose leans toward ripe citrus, white peach, subtle tropical fruit, and gentle notes of vanilla, toast, or spice from oak influence. On the palate, it is usually medium to full-bodied with a creamy texture balanced by lively acidity, offering layers of orchard fruit, citrus peel, and a savoury, mineral edge. The finish is polished and persistent, with the structure to develop further complexity over the next few years.

Production
Sourced from Mendoza, where altitude, sun exposure, and cool night-time temperatures help preserve freshness and aromatic intensity, this wine reflects the region’s ideal conditions for expressive Chardonnay. Salentein is known for careful vineyard selection and precise harvesting, with vinification designed to highlight fruit purity while adding complexity through controlled oak ageing, depending on the parcel and style of the vintage.

Food & Serving
Serve this Chardonnay chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, with dishes such as roast chicken, creamy seafood pasta, grilled salmon, lobster, or rich vegetable dishes like mushroom risotto. Decanting is not usually necessary, though a short aeration can help if the wine is showing youthful reduction or you want to open up its oak-driven nuances.

Producer
Salentein is one of Mendoza’s most respected producers, widely recognized for helping raise the profile of Argentine fine wine on the international stage. Based in the Uco Valley, the estate has earned acclaim for its combination of modern winemaking, premium vineyard sites, and a strong focus on quality across its portfolio, with the Primus range positioned as one of its most distinguished expressions.
