Colomé Estate Torrontés

Calchaqui Valley, Salta

Wines of distinction have been crafted at Colomé in the Upper Calchaquí Valley in the Salta region since 1831. Torrontés is Argentina’s flagship native white grape, which reaches its highest expression in this region. 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 metres. Due to these conditions, grapes develop a unique aromatic expression and are made into fresh wines of great acidity. Grapes are grown at our La Brava vineyard estate at 1700 metres, which is considered the best altitude for this variety.

Tasting Notes

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.

    "There are subtle notes of jasmine and orange blossom in the nose of the 2020 Estate Torrontés, which was harvested at the end of February before the heat wave at 13.5% alcohol, keeping a low pH and good acidity with grapes from vineyards at 1,700 and 2,300 meters in altitude. It fermented in stainless steel and was kept there for one month before being bottled. The finish is very dry, with a chalky sensation akin to limestone soils and chalk. 120,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2020."

    "A Torrontés from Cafayate where harvest time is key. Neither under- nor overripe, it presents aromas of orange blossom, lime and tuberose, and offers sparky freshness in the mouth, good volume for the variety, real intensity of flavor and a slightly bitter finish, as one would expect from a terpenic grape."

    "Aromas of lemon, lime and pastry dusted with powdered sugar lead to a round palate with citrus-like acidity. Pineapple and melon flavors come with a touch of salt, while the palate feels full with a slight grip. Drink now."

    "Aromatics are in high gear for this high elevation-grown white. Scents of lemon and caramel offer a spice. An exacting grapefruit tartness and chamomile floral quality meet up with subtle peach on the palate. A freshness owes its favor to a vibrant acidity."

    "Plenty of lemon-rind, white-peach and green-apple aromas follow through to a full-bodied, firm and fresh palate and a long, lingering finish. Shows tightness and crispness down the line. Drink now."

    "Bright yellow. Lovely nose melds lemon, menthol, dried herbs, lichee and ginger. Then almost surprisingly round, sweet and large-scaled in the mouth; quite full for Torrontés but also vibrant thanks to its healthy acidity (reportedly 6.7 grams per liter). A turpenic resiny quality is nicely countered by bright citricity and a floral note. This seriously palate-saturating Torrontés finishes long and outsized, with a slightly phenolic character. A rather extreme style from high-altitude vines (up to 7,500 feet) but it works. (made entirely in stainless stee"
