Bodega Colomé

Deep purple in color, this elegant expression of Malbec leads with vibrant aromas of ripe red fruits—like fresh raspberry and cherry—laced with delicate violet and spice. Sourced from the sandy soils of the La Brava vineyard, it trades heavy extraction for refinement. The cool mountain nights preserve a brilliant 'mountain-air' freshness, framing soft, round tannins and carrying the wine to a long, lingering finish.

Info:

Interesting: Sourced exclusively from Colomé’s "lowest" estate vineyard at 1,700m. The sandy soils and unique microclimate here produce a Malbec prized for its elegance and fresh red fruit, rather than extreme, heavy concentration.

Did You Know?: Colomé is home to some of the oldest Malbec vines in Argentina, with pre-phylloxera rootstocks dating back to 1854.

Pairing: Flank steak with fresh chimichurri, savory beef empanadas, or roasted portobello mushrooms; an evening of good conversation and relaxed vibes.

Ideal for The Velvet Soul

Your palate has a biological rejection of bitterness and astringency. You may be a "Supertaster" (highly sensitive to bitter compounds), which means high tannins feel physically painful or harsh, like sandpaper on your gums. Your mouth seeks protection - you want wines with higher glycerol (body) and alcohol sweetness to coat your tongue and create a barrier against harsh textures. You judge wine by how seamlessly it glides across your palate.
