Colomé Altura Máxima Malbec 2019 is a distinguished wine from the Calchaquí Valley, Argentina, crafted from grapes sourced from one of the highest vineyards globally, situated 3,100 metres above sea level. This Malbec exhibits a rich dark purple hue with aromas of plum, blackberry and subtle spices, coupled with a mineral backbone. The vineyard`s unique conditions, characterised by a considerable diurnal temperature variation and alluvial, sandy soils rich in granite, allow for a concentrated flavour profile while maintaining acidity. Bodega Colomé, established in 1831, holds the title of the oldest winery in Argentina, adding historical significance to its exceptional wines.

Sourced from vines just 10 years old, planted at 3,111 meters in altitude and aged for 18 months in neutral barrique, the 2019 Altura Máxima Malbec opens with a beautifully intense, inky, herbal and coiled nose. The palate echoes with an incredibly dense, compact, concentrated mouthfeel with a bracing core buttressed with pure mineral tension. It concludes with a long, layered and subtly woody finish that lingers with additional mineral-driven nuances and balsamic flourishes. This is a superb expression from one of the highest-elevation vineyards on the planet. - Matthew Luczy

The 2019 Malbec Altura Maxima originates from a vineyard planted at 3,111 meters in the Payogasta area of the Calchaquí Valley. This intense red wine, with its purple hue, reveals notes of blackberry, balsamic and bay leaf. Dry and compact, it draws overpowering energy from its acidity and rich balance, culminating in a distinctive and flavorful finish. This is a concentrated red crafted from vines at extremely high altitude.Joaquin Hidalgo20th February 2024
