The Salentein wine cellar was designed taking into account two aspects: the form and function. The cruciform shape provides a careful handling of the grapes and wine, while the path that reduces both the fruit and its products travel along the different stages of development. Each wing is itself a small store with two levels.

In the first stainless steel tanks and French oak barrels allow the fermentation and storage. In the underground level, while the wine is aged in oak barrels. Both floors allow fluid flow from the tanks to the barrels through a traditional gravity transfer.

The four wings converge in a central circular chamber, similar to an amphitheater, built with classical temples of antiquity for inspiration.

Cava

The subterranean wells are within eight meters below ground and a constant temperature of 12 ° C and with an ambient humidity of 80%. The wine is aged in small French oak barrels of 225 liters each. Overall, this level contains 5,000 barrels. Another feature of the cellar is the stone floor. Viewed from the top level, the floor of the central chamber shows a significant design, highly symbolic: it is based on the compass rose, with each of its ends oriented toward the cardinal points. Thus represents the relationship with the rest of the world. For the construction of this soil is used natural stones from the region of Cuyo, which include yellow sandstone quartzite, chlorite schist and sandstone type green colored limonite.

Tasting Room

Three tasting rooms, a main central and two lateral lines are underground at the same level of the caves, in which tables can appreciate travertine, massive stone blocks, more than two tons extracted from a quarry in San Juan.

Primus Room

The beauty and function converge again in Room Primus. This unique room is unique in its kind in the country and contains 12 French oak barrels of 7600 liters equipped with controlled cooling system where it is made only on crops where the fruit is of exceptional quality, the line of limited edition wines of Salentein.

Once inside, the tasting lounge beckons, the wood bar framed by oversized portraits of Argentine landscapes. Private tastings are offered upstairs in a glass-walled room overlooking the vineyards and the magnificent Andes soaring to the west, at a custom table outfitted with individual sinks and glass racks at each seat.

In this state-of-the-art facility, everything gleams, from red lacquered concrete floors throughout, to shiny stainless steel tanks, to burnished oak barrels that rest behind brick arched windows.

The high-tech set-up is designed as much for function as it is for “wow” factor. Only one cellar worker is required during non-harvest seasons, and a few during harvest, thanks to conveniences such as mechanical steam barrel washers, small lot sorters and destemmers, and individually pumped tanks. As modern design website Build LLC describes the ambience, “The spaces are stark and almost monastic in their simplicity and minimalism. When not in use, the immense empty rooms are cleaned to perfection.”

Other modern techniques include refrigerated grape chambers, gravity-driven grape delivery from sorting table to tank, delestage, and a temperature- and humidity-controlled lounge for bottle storage.

The region of Agrelo, Lujan de Cuyo, is located in the upper piedmont of Mendoza River. There, amid the arid soil, sunshine, cool nights and pure water proviniente of the Andes, Malbec is the place according to their natural needs. These unique features along the hard work of people that result in the production of wines with great personality, aromatic concentration, remarkable structure and an elegant finish.

The harvest is done manually in boxes of 18 kg, which is transported to the winery the grapes. It makes a first selection in the vineyard and then a second selection to arrive at the winery.

All vineyards are within 1km., Which is an advantage when efforts to maximize the income of wine grapes at optimum maturity and apreovechando low temperatures in the morning.

Stainless steel tanks, from 5,000 to 20,000 liters capacity for the fragmentation process, cement tanks and cellars for aging barrels: design and technology to wine making.

The winery has cutting-edge Italian technology:

-550,000 Liters capacity in stainless steel tanks to ferment.
-1,280,000 Liters in underground pools cement / epoxy guard.
-Follow-up computerized temperatures.
-Traceability of all processes and art equipment.

It also has advice from talented winemakers: the Tuscan Alberto Antonini, one of the flying international winemarkers renomabrados and Pablo Mendoza Profili. great knowledge of the terroirs of Malbec. Between the two have achieved extraordinary synergy producing wines that have been praised by the press worldwide.

Rebirth’s vineyards are in Perdriel, unique area where the Malbec finds its best exposure due to the characteristics of climate, altitude, soil and water. It has 35 hectares of vineyards, some over 50 years, with an output of less than 8 tons per hectare.
