List of products by brand Colome
Bodega Colomé was founded in 1831, by the Spanish governor of Salta, Nicolás Severo de Isasmendi y Echalar. In 1854, his daughter Ascensión, who married José Benjamín Dávalos, introduced French Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon pre-phylloxera vines to Colomé. Three vineyards, which date back to those times, still produce grapes that are part of the Colomé Reserva wine. Colomé belonged to the Isasmendi-Dávalos families for 170 years. Donald Hess acquired it in 2001.
Donald and Úrsula Hess first visited the Calchaquí Valleys in 1998. They were looking for the perfect terroir and the ideal climate to make truly unique wines in Argentina. What they found was much more than that, they found a second home. The majesty and natural beauty of Colomé inspired and rejuvenated them. In 2001 they bought Colomé and since then they gave rise to the recent history of Colomé, the richest in achievements and developments for both the winery and the town of Colomé.
Bodega Colome has been producing the famous high altitude wines since 1831. In recent years they have added the Estancia and the James Turrell Museum to offer a unique and unexpected experience in the immensity of the Calchaquí Valley. The magical silence, the starry sky and a radiant and intense sun fill the Colomé experience with energy and mystical sense.
MoreCurrently Bodega Colomé is a benchmark for quality and high-end wines in Argentina; harvests and produces more than half a million liters and exports its wines to more than 25 countries around the world.
The vineyards are located in the upper area of the Calchaquíes Valleys, considered the highest wine-growing region in the world between 2,300 and 3,111 meters above sea level.
Made up of 4 farms: Finca Colomé (2,300 masl), whose vineyards are around the winery, Finca El Arenal (2,700 masl) and Finca Altura Máxima (3,111 masl) in the Payogasta-Salta area and Finca La Brava (1,750 masl) north of the Calchaquí valley.
The altitude is one of the most important factors for the development of the vine. At higher altitudes, there is a great solar exposure and good thermal amplitude with 20 ° between day and night, factors that facilitate the homogeneous and balanced development of the grape.
The solar radiation that the vine receives, the air and soil temperatures impact on the development of the vine, achieving a slow maturation. To protect itself from the sun's rays, the grape generates a thicker and darker skin, the result will be a wine of great intensity, good color, aroma and flavor. With the end result of famous high-altitude wines of great concentration and balance.
