Description
In a nutshell:
A elegant and fruity example of Argentina's main white grape variety from the northern province of Salta.
The lowdown:
The high altitude vineyards of Salta's Calchqui Valley give a large temperature difference between day and night which lead to intense flavour accumulation in the fruit. This is translated into the wine which offers an expressive bouquet of elderflower, rose and honeysuckle alongside peach, apple and citrus fruits. It's ripe, intense and packed with vibrant fruity and elderflower flavours.
The Producer:
Bodega Colomé, established in 1831, is not only the oldest working winery in Argentina but also boasts some of the world's highest vineyards. Its stellar reputation earned it a spot as one of Tim Atkin's 'First Growths' in his 2016 Argentina Report. Located in the far north of Argentina in the Upper Calchaquí Valley, it's believed to have been founded by the Spanish Governor of Salta, Nicolás Severo de Isasmendi y Echalar. In 1854, his daughter introduced the first French pre-phylloxera Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon vines to the area, planting three small vineyards whose fruit still goes into the wines today. Currently, there are 140 hectares of vineyards planted at altitudes ranging from 2,300 to over 3,000 metres. Grapes grown at such high elevations develop thicker skins to protect against intense UV rays, resulting in wines with more colour, aroma, flavour, and antioxidants.
When to drink:
There's a fresh, clean acidity and excellent length to finish with.
Suitable for Vegans
