Estate Malbec High Elevation Vineyards

2012 Valle Calchaqui, Salta Malbec

Colome Estate Malbec High Elevation Vineyards from the 2012 vintage showcases the remarkable qualities of Malbec grown in the stunning Valle Calchaqui of Salta. This red wine is full-bodied, offering a bold and generous mouthfeel that serves as a delightful canvas for its rich flavors. With high acidity, it maintains a lively freshness that balances the lush fruit profile, which displays prominent notes of dark berries, plum, and hints of chocolate. The tannins are structured yet supple, providing a firm backbone while still feeling approachable. As an off-dry wine, it has a lovely roundness that enhances its approachability, making it a superb choice for pairing with grilled meats or hearty stews. The high elevation of the vineyards adds an intriguing depth, contributing to the wine's overall complexity and elegance, truly reflecting the unique terroir of the region.
