About this bottle

De Salentein Barrel Selection Cabernet Franc is een rode wijn van cabernet franc uit de Uco-vallei in Mendoza, Argentinië. Tijdens de gisting past Salentein bij de Barrel Selection de techniek rack and return toe: het sap wordt van de schillen afgetapt en daarna weer over de schillen teruggegoten, voor een goede extractie. Daarna rijpt de wijn ongeveer twaalf maanden op Frans eikenhout. Hij heeft 14,5% vol.

Salentein plantte in 1997 zijn eerste veertig hectare wijngaard, met malbec, sauvignon blanc, merlot en pinot noir. Daaronder was de eerste malbec op grote hoogte in de Uco-vallei, op zo'n 1300 meter. In 1999 volgde de eerste jaargang. Met die oogst was Salentein de eerste bodega die de woorden Estate Bottled in Uco Valley op zijn etiketten zette.

For the Barrel Selection wines the 'rack and return' technique is applied during fermentation. The skins are strained out of the wine and mixed back with the juice, so that good extraction takes place and the flavours from the grape skins end up in the juice. As a result, besides lovely wood-aged flavours, wonderfully soft fruit can also be tasted. After this technique the wine matures for another 12 months in oak casks.

Why this works together

Chosen for the colour (red wine), the country of origin (Argentina), the alcohol percentage (14.5%) and the notes of blackcurrant and oak in the description. Red works with tannin, and tannin seeks protein. That is why red and meat so often show up together.

Serve at 16 to 18 °C.

What is needed

Main courseGrilled entrecôte

Ingredients

4 entrecôtes of 200 grams
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 sprigs of rosemary

Take the entrecôtes out of the fridge half an hour before grilling and brush them with olive oil and chopped rosemary.
Parboil the potatoes for 15 minutes, cut them into wedges and roast them with oil for 25 minutes in an oven at 200 °C.
Grill the entrecôtes on a very hot grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side for a pink centre.
Let the meat rest for 5 minutes under aluminium foil and sprinkle with coarse sea salt and pepper.
Sprinkle the potatoes with chopped parsley and serve with the meat.
