Single Vineyard La Pampa 97

The La Pampa vineyard lies within the San Pablo GI, one of Salentein's most prized high‑altitude holdings, located over 1,300 metres above sea level. This site is characterised by alluvial, stony soils and a cool mountain climate that promotes slow, even ripening and refined phenolic development. Salentein's Single Vineyard series highlights micro‑parcels where soil structure, drainage, and sun exposure create distinctive expressions.

Winemaking is intentionally restrained to preserve site character: small‑lot fermentation, temperature control to safeguard aromatic purity, and maturation in carefully selected French oak barrels to support but never overshadow the fruit. The '97 La Pampa bottling showcases the extreme conditions of San Pablo – high UV exposure, dramatic diurnal shift, and naturally low yields – resulting in wines that combine concentration with remarkable freshness. It is a benchmark South American single‑vineyard expression, reflecting Salentein's decades‑long commitment to precision viticulture in the Uco Valley.
