Bodega Colomé

Nestled in the heart of Argentina's Calchaquí valleys, at an altitude of up to 3,111 meters, lies Bodega Colomé – one of the oldest and highest-altitude wineries in the world. Founded in 1831, it carries nearly 200 years of history in its vines. Behind Colomé are Donald and Ursula Hess, who realized their lifelong dream here. And winemaker Thibaut Delmotte, who since 2005 has ensured with great sensitivity that every wine perfectly reflects what this place has to offer: intense aromas, vibrant fruit, and a clarity rarely found elsewhere. What makes it so special? The extreme altitude, the intense sunlight, and the cool nights – all of this is present in every sip. For Colomé, sustainable practices in the vineyard are not just a nice extra, but a fundamental principle: respect for the land, the people, and future generations.

Bodega Colomé –
Argentina's high-altitude pioneer since 1831

Few wineries in the world express their origin so directly in the glass as Bodega Colomé . Founded in 1831 in the Calchaquí valleys of northwestern Argentina, the vineyards lie at altitudes of 2,300 to 3,111 meters – an elevation that radically shapes the climate: intense UV light during the day, cool nights that preserve acidity and concentrate aromas. The result is wines with a density and clarity that is virtually unattainable at lower elevations.

Since Donald and Ursula Hess acquired the estate in 2001, Colomé has been carefully modernized without losing its character. Winemaker Thibaut Delmotte has been working with the old Malbec vines, some of which are over 100 years old, since 2005. His approach is precise and understated: the altitude should speak for itself, not the cellar. Sustainable farming is not a marketing promise, but a lived practice – out of respect for a region as remote as it is exceptional.

Colomé's wines display dark berry fruit, floral notes, and a mineral freshness that takes Malbec far beyond its clichés. Whether paired with grilled lamb or a mature hard cheese, these bottles tell a story of a place most will never visit.
