The Wine
This high-altitude wine shows exactly what you'd expect - great intensity and enthusiastic aromatics in a pure, un‑oaked Malbec. The vineyards are over 9,800 feet above sea level, in the Calchaquí Valley.
The wine offers aromas of saturated blackberry, blueberry, and black cherry with violet, thyme, cracked pepper, and a touch of cocoa. The palate is concentrated yet lifted, with bright acidity, smooth tannins, and a long, spice‑and‑herb finish that’s signature to Colomé’s extreme‑elevation fruit. It’s vivid, polished, and deeply expressive without relying on oak.
Pairings: Grilled meats, lamb, sausages, mushroom dishes, and blue cheeses such as Fourme d’Ambert or Gorgonzola dolce. The wine’s fruit intensity and peppery finish make it ideal for charred or herb‑driven preparations.
The Winery
Bodega Colomé is one of Argentina’s oldest wineries and a pioneer of ultra‑high‑altitude viticulture in the Calchaquí Valley of Salta. Their Auténtico bottling is crafted entirely without oak to highlight the purity of Malbec grown in these extreme conditions — intense sunlight, cool nights, and mineral‑rich soils. The result is a wine that’s both powerful and vibrant, showcasing Colomé’s commitment to expressing place through meticulous farming and minimal intervention.
