Bodega Colomé 'Auténtico' Malbec 2022/23
The Bodega Colomé ‘Auténtico’ Malbec is part of the 'Estate' Series and is a pure, single-vineyard, unoaked expression of the grape variety. It is made with grapes sourced from their 90-year-old vineyard planted at 2,300 metres above sea level. The high elevation results in grapes that are more exposed to the sun’s ultraviolet rays, which causes them to develop thicker and darker skins to protect themselves from sunburn. At the winery, 85% of the wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks and then aged in tanks for ten months. The remaining 15% of the wine was fermented and aged in concrete eggs, for brighter acidity. After blending and bottling, the wine spent 10 months in bottle prior to release. This Malbec has a deep inky colour with violet hues. It has aromas of blackberries, cherries, and figs, combined with spicy notes and a touch of floral notes. On the palate, it is lush and concentrated, with crisp acidity and ripe, finely-grained tannins that provide structure and balance.
