Bodega Colomé Estate Malbec 2024
£18.95
The wine
The Estate Malbec draws on all four of Colomé’s high-altitude vineyards, from La Brava up to the rarefied Altura Máxima, and is aged around fifteen months in French oak. A benchmark expression of Salta Malbec.
Deep and vivid, it offers cassis, blackberry and violet over fine spice and a savoury, mineral depth, the tannins supple and the finish long and fresh. Altitude in a glass. Serve with grilled red meats, lamb, game and hard cheeses.
The producer
Bodega Colomé
View all Bodega Colomé winesFounded 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.
