Salentein
SALENTEIN
Designed by the same architects as O.Fournier and equally as impressive, Salentein is a Dutch owned winery with ambitious vision. It is very well orgsnised for tourism with a special visitor centre that includes an excellent art museum. Modern sculptures vie with a dramatic setting and an imposing interior that reminds many of a James Bond movie set. There is also a fine restaurant where you can sample the range of wines over such delicacies as beef with Malbec sauce whilst enjoying a great view of the snowy peaks.
