Bodega Colomé was established in 1831 in the Upper Calchaquí Valley in Salta in the far north of Argentina.

If you are looking for exclusive Argentinian wines with a rich history and tradition to boast of, Bodega Colome is that you have to choose. Colome, a wine estate in the wine-rich Salta region of Argentina, is home to historic vines that were planted here during as early as 1854. The first Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon vines, which were brought from France, were planted in this estate during that time.

Apart from the soil quality and the climatic conditions, an important quality that is responsible for the quality of wines created here is the altitude of the vines. At such a height, the vines have the potential to ease out extreme climatic conditions. They are exposed to a large number of ultraviolet rays of the sun, which plays a huge role in the natural thickening of the skin of the grapes. This is why the fruits cultivated here have a good tannin finish and deep colour.

Malbec and Torrontes, fruits that are grown in high-altitude areas, are the main grape varietals cultivated here.  Torrente’s grape varietal is quite unique because it is cultivated only in Argentina. With these two exceptionally full-bodied and flavourful fruits, the Bodega Colome brand has done a remarkable job in making the world sit up and take notice of the unique Argentinian wines.

Colomé Vineyard notes:

‘Grapes are grown at our La Brava vineyard estate at 1700 meters, which is considered the best altitude for this variety. There is a wide diurnal temperature range and the intense solar exposure means that grapes grown here develop a unique aromatic expression which in turn produces a fresh wine of great acidity.’
