Colomé Autentico Malbec

So close to heaven – and yet completely authentic.

Bodega Colomé is located in Salta, Argentina, at an altitude of over 2,300 meters – one of the highest wineries in the world. The Colomé Auténtico Malbec is a personal tribute to the Daválos family, the winery's former owners. Señor Daválos was a staunch opponent of barrel aging, and so this wine is still vinified entirely without oak, according to biodynamic principles. The result truly lives up to the name "Auténtico."

Tasting note:
The nose reveals ripe, clear Malbec fruit: blackberries, plums, and black pepper create a concentrated, complex bouquet. On the palate, the wine unfolds tremendous power and density, elegantly integrated by refined, fully ripe tannins. The remarkable freshness for such a powerful wine lingers through to the long, intense finish.
