Bodega Colome is one of Argentina’s oldest working wineries, crafting their wines in the high-altitude Calchaqui Valley of Salta, Argentina. Vineyards here are some of the highest in the world, sitting between 5,500 and 10,000 feet above sea level. Fruit grown at these extreme altitudes benefit from intense mountain sunlight and dramatic diurnal swings (day to-night temperature shifts); The perfect environment for Torrontes!
Colome Torrontes is a delicious, versatile, no-nonsense white wine that truly overdelivers for the money and is sure to become a new favorite. The nose explodes with sweet, perfumed aromas of jasmine, fresh-cut roses, and bright citrus peel. However, the palate surprises drinkers by being completely dry, crisp, and medium-bodied, offering lively flavors of white peach, lychee, and grapefruit, balanced by a chiseled, mineral-driven acidity and a clean, refreshing finish. Pairs perfectly with your spicier dishes; Indian, Asian, or ceviche with a kick. At only $10.99 a bottle, it’s a must try and I can all but guarantee you will be back for more all summer long.
