Amalaya de Colomé Valle Calchaquí

Salta is located in the northwest of Argentina, and the vineyards of Bodega Colomé are among the highest in the world — up to 3,111 meters. This extreme altitude brings intense UV radiation, cool nights, and a long growing season. The result is grapes with dense color, ripe fruit, and lively acidity.

The Amalaya is a cuvée of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tannat, and the local rarity Bonarda. After aging in barriques, it shows a deep ruby red with purple reflections. On the nose, dark blackberry, plum, and a hint of dried herbs dominate — typical for high-altitude Malbec from the Valle Calchaquí. Juicy texture on the palate, tannins with grip but without harshness, and a spicy finish with notes of black pepper and cedar wood.
