About Salton
Salton is an established Brazilian producer, historically closely associated with Serra Gaúcha in Rio Grande do Sul. The winery also works with fruit from Campanha Gaúcha, a warmer, open landscape near the Uruguayan border that is well suited to ripe red varieties. Its wines tend to favour fruit expression and balance.
This profile was written by the Wijnfeld digital sommelier from generally known information about the producer, the region and the grapes. Details may vary by vintage. Published on 7 September 2026.
