Chosen as the best Cabernet in the world at the Drink Business Asian Masters 2022.
For the second consecutive year, Primus Cabernet Sauvignon was chosen as the best in the world in The Asian Cabernet Sauvignon Masters 2022 competition. The renowned British publication The Drinks Business Asia - organizer of the prestigious competition - awarded the highest award, "Master", to the vintage 2017 Primus Cabernet Sauvignon.
Primus, the icon wine of Bodegas Salentein, made with grapes from vineyards that express the best adaptation to the terroir and that come from selected plots of our farms of different heights. It is a limited edition that is made only in vintages where wines of exceptionally superior quality are obtained.
Intense ruby red color with blue reflections. Complex and delicate on the nose, aromas reminiscent of cassis, combined with liquorice and notes of black pepper. On the palate it is intense, notes of black fruit and pepper are perceived. Good body and structure, presence of firm tannins, but pleasant at the same time. Very good natural acidity, long and persistent finish.
