Colome 'Autentico' Malbec 2016 - 1.5 Litre Bottle
Bodega ColomĂ© 'AutĂ©ntico' Malbec 2016 originates from Argentina, specifically from the Molinos area within the Salta province's CalchaquĂ Valley. Founded in 1831, Bodega ColomĂ© is Argentina's oldest working winery and is currently part of the Hess Family Wine Estates, following a philosophy of high-altitude viticulture and sustainable farming. The 'AutĂ©ntico' label is a tribute to the wineryâs ancestors and original 19th-century winemaking style, crafted from estate-grown fruit at an extreme altitude of 2,300 metres above sea level.
Wine Description
This full-bodied red wine typically presents an intense, almost black colour with deep violet tones. The sensory profile for the 2016 vintage is concentrated and robust, featuring a fragrant nose of plums, black cherries, and blackberries layered with notes of wild herbs, cloves, and a stony minerality. On the palate, it is described as lush and dark, offering flavours of black raspberries and dark fruit supported by firm, round tannins and a refreshing acidity. The finish is powerful and long, showcasing complexity and depth without the influence of wood.
Varietal Composition: 100% Malbec.
ABV: Typically 14.5%.
Organic Status: The estate utilizes sustainable and low-intervention farming practices, including biodiversity and zero chemical use, though specific organic certification for this vintage is not explicitly stated.
Stylistic Notes: 'Auténtico' is an unoaked expression of Malbec produced using ancient techniques such as pigeage (punch-down) and natural fermentations without commercial yeasts. It is matured for 10 months in tanks followed by 10 months in the bottle.
