The wine

El Arenal was the Hess family’s first vineyard in Salta, a single site at 2,600 metres in the Upper Calchaquí Valley. Sustainably farmed and aged twelve months in oak, it is a sophisticated, single-vineyard expression of altitude Malbec.

Refined and structured, it layers black fruit and violet with fine spice and a cool, mineral core, carried by elegant tannins and a long, fresh finish. Power and poise in balance. Serve with roast beef, lamb, game and aged cheeses.

The producer

Bodega Colomé

View all Bodega Colomé wines

Founded in 1831, Bodega Colomé is the oldest working winery in Argentina and a pioneer of extreme high-altitude wine. Hidden deep in Salta’s Calchaquí Valley, its vineyards climb from 1,750 metres to the dizzying 3,111 metres of Altura Máxima, among the highest in the world.

Revitalised by the Hess family from 2001 and crafted by French winemaker Thibaut Delmotte with a low-intervention hand, Colomé has been named a First Growth of Argentina by Tim Atkin every year since 2020. Intense mountain sun and dramatic day-night swings give wines of rich colour, fine tannins and singular freshness.

From perfumed Torrontés and old-vine Auténtico Malbec to the rarefied Altura Máxima bottlings, this is high-altitude wine at its most thrilling.
