Colomé

Salta Calchaqui Founded in 1831, Bodega Colomé is the oldest working winery in Argentina, boasting an impressive 4-hectare single vineyard of Malbec and Cabernet planted on original rootstock vines brought from Bordeaux in 1854. In June 2001 the 39,000-hectare property became part of the Hess Group from Switzerland. Since then Bodega Colomé has undergone an investment programme including a sophisticated energy station with a water turbine for self-sufficient energy production, a large 30,000 m³ water reservoir, a small modern winery and luxury boutique hotel. Situated in the Salta region to the far north of Argentina, Colomé’s high altitude mountain vineyards are planted at a majestic 2300m above sea level in the Calchaqui Valley making them the highest in the world. Bio-dynamically farmed, the extreme altitude of the vineyards allows for lengthened days of intense sunshine and cold nights, growing grapes of intense varietal character and sophistication. Attached to the winery is Estancia Colomé, the luxury boutique hotel, nestled in the foothills and surrounded by vineyards.

	Colomé Torrontes 2008 - Argentina Bin No. COLOMETO08 Price: £7.50 The Torrontes grape has been labelled by many as Argentina's signature white wine variety; however, in my experience the examples offered up by various producers of this native grape have been somewhat disappointing, often thin, insipid and rather lacklustre! Thankfully, the Colomé Torrontes is a breath of fresh air in comparison. Situated at over 2000 metres above sea level the Torrontes grapes are all hand harvested by hand and yields per he ..
