Salentein’s “Callia Malbec” is one such wine. This wine has made a handful of repeated appearances here on WineOnline since we first brought it in last year – and the fact it sells out each and every time we have the chance to offer it, reminds me just how good it really is.

The price and quality is sensational here at under $16 bucks!

THE PRODUCER

Bodegas Salentein is located in Mendoza, an Argentinian province that is synonymous with wine. The soil in this region is sandy and loamy, and the weather, dry, with very hot days and very cool nights. The presence of over 900 bodegas and 145 thousand hectares (358 thousand acres), of vineyards explain why this region is the most important wine-making area of the country. However, this land has much more to say. This is Bodegas Salentein’s belief, and it acts in consequence, spreading at an international level the emergence of first-rate bodegas in Argentina.
