Bodega Colomé Estate Torrontés 2021
Wines of distinction have been crafted at Colomé in the Upper Calchaquí Valley in the Salta region since 1831. Acquired in 2001 by entrepreneurs and pioneers Donald and Ursula Hess with the aim of producing fine high-end wines in the high Calchaquí Valleys, it is currently run by the second generation, Larissa and Christoph Ehrbar. This area has a special micro-climate of great thermal amplitude and intense solar exposure on where vineyards grow at altitudes of between 1700 and 3100 meters. Due to these conditions, grapes develop a unique aromatic expression and are made into fresh wines of great acidity. Torrontés is Argentina’s flagship native white grape, which reaches its highest expression in this region.
The 2021 Colomé Torrontés offers the floral notes of roses, the citrus aroma of grapefruit and a spicy hint. In the mouth it is fresh, round and well-bodied with a long, elegant finish.
