BODEGA COLOMÉ

Bodega Colomé, the oldest winery in Argentina, and one of the highest vineyards in the world was founded in 1831 in the Calchaqui Valley. In 2001 it was bought by Swiss entrepreneurs Donald and Ursula Hess who became enamoured with the prospect of producing top quality wines at extreme altitudes. Operations are currently led by their daughter Larissa and her husband Christoph, who alongside French born Winemaker Thibaut Delmotte are committed to the estate’s fully biodynamic farming practices and have created a collection of distinct and complex award winning wines that represent the perfect harmony between the unique terroir of the Calchaqui Valley and the Malbec grapes historically grown there.

This wine is intense in colour and full of aromas like cherries, blackberries, figs, cassis and cloves with elegant spice and mineral notes. The mouth is crisp and robust with a high concentration of ripe and round tannins. 

 

Harvested from our best vineyard located at 2300 metres, “Auténtico” is produced in the old winemaking style – ancient techniques such as pigeage (punch down) and no oak influence to retain freshness and purity of fruit.

 

A tribute to our pioneers who planted the vineyards and opened the winery in 1831. Since then, the vineyards at Bodega Colomé have been grown with sustainable farming practices to achieve the “authentic” expression of the terroir.
