- TASTING NOTE: "The 2023 Malbec Auténtico comes from Estancia Colomé and is crafted in a primary, unoaked style. Intense purple, its aromas reveal blackberry, a hint of chili pepper and a sharp balsamic touch with notable intensity and slight reduction. Indulgent and broad with plush textures and fine tannins, it offers pure flavors and remarkable palate intensity. The northern sun has made this long, powerful and full of flavor." 92 Points - Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous
- ABOUT THE WINE: Harvested from plots located at 2,300 meters, "Auténtico" is produced without oak aging to preserve the freshness and purity of the fruit.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: High up in the Andes, in Argentina’s north, you’ll find Bodega Colome in the Salta province. At 180 years old, it’s the oldest winery in Argentina, and you will even find malbec cuttings brought from Bordeaux by the founders daughter still produce at 160 years of age. Colome is located hours away from any other vineyards. The vineyard is, in fact, so remote that they generate their own electricity via water turbines, charged with water from Andes snowmelt. Three vineyards set Colome apart from the rest of Salta: Estate vineyards (2400m), El Arenal (2700m) and Altura Maxima (3100m and the highest in the world). Extreme elevation yield intense aromatics and colours, fruit driven wines but with a savoury house style and acid to boot due to the exposure and cold nights. Importer Notes
