Red wine | Salta, Argentina
Indulge in the captivating allure of Bodega Colomé's Malbec Extreme Terroir, a wine that embodies the spirit of Argentina's high-altitude winemaking. Nestled in Salta, at an astounding 2300 meters above sea level, Bodega Colomé stands as a testament to visionary winemaking. Established in 1831, this historic winery benefits from the unique terroir of the Andes Mountains, where extreme conditions forge wines of exceptional character and depth. The Colomé Malbec Extreme Terroir is crafted from 100% Malbec grapes, hand-harvested from vineyards that defy conventional viticulture. The high altitude, intense sunlight, and dramatic temperature swings stress the vines, resulting in grapes with thicker skins and concentrated flavors. This translates to a wine with remarkable color, structure, and complexity. On the nose, you will be greeted by an aromatic symphony of ripe black cherries, plums, and blackberries, intertwined with hints of violets, spice, and subtle earthy undertones. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, lingering finish. The wine's vibrant acidity provides a refreshing lift, balancing the intense fruit and savory notes.
Pair this exquisite Malbec with grilled meats, such as Argentine asado or a juicy ribeye steak. Its robust structure and complex flavors also make it an excellent companion to hearty stews, game dishes, and aged cheeses. For a vegetarian option, try it with roasted vegetables or a mushroom-based pasta. The Colomé Malbec Extreme Terroir is not just a wine; it's an experience. It's a journey to the rugged landscapes of Salta, where nature and human ingenuity combine to create something truly exceptional. Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or an adventurous newcomer, this Malbec will captivate your senses and leave you longing for another sip.
