Description
Experience the remarkable character of the Bodega Colomé Estate Series Salta Malbec 2022, a masterfully crafted red wine hailing from the esteemed Calchaquí Valley in Salta, Argentina. This wine is born from the union of ideal climatic conditions and exceptional high-altitude vineyards, resulting in a complex and vibrant profile that delights the senses.
Harvested by hand between March and April, this vintage boasts:
- Deep, bright red colour that beckons with intensity
- Rich aromas of blackberries, cherries, and delicate floral notes combined with hints of spiced oak and pepper
- Lush, full-bodied palate featuring ripe black fruit, vibrant acidity, and fine-grained tannins
- Long, pristine finish with lingering notes of dried herbs and warm roasted spices
During vinification, the grapes undergo meticulous processing to preserve their natural essence. After a four-day maceration at low temperatures, indigenous yeasts initiate fermentation in stainless steel tanks, culminating in a 15-month aging process within a combination of new and seasoned French oak barrels. The result is a Salta Malbec that offers both depth and elegance, making it an exceptional choice for various occasions.
To truly enjoy the distinct flavours of this wine, consider these serving suggestions:
- Serve slightly chilled at 15–17°C in a large, open-bowled glass to enhance the wine's complex aromas.
- Pair with charred lamb skewers seasoned with chili and sprinkled with fresh pomegranate seeds for a delightful contrast.
- Present alongside grilled vegetables, such as roasted red peppers and smoky eggplant, garnished with fresh herbs to complement the wine's earthy undertones.
- Create a refreshing Malbec spritzer with chilled wine and ruby grapefruit soda served over ice, garnished with grapefruit peel.
- Match with dark chocolate bark sprinkled with smoked sea salt for a decadent dessert that enhances the wine's richness.
Indulge in the Bodega Colomé Estate Series Salta Malbec 2022, and savor the meticulous craftsmanship and unique terroir that define this exceptional Argentine wine.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of the red wine:
- Temperature: Store unopened bottles at a consistent temperature between 55°F and 65°F (13°C to 18°C) ideally around 55°F to 60°F (13°C to 16°C) to slow aging and preserve freshness. Avoid fluctuations and never exceed 70°F (21°C). For opened bottles refrigeration at about 40°F to 45°F (4°C to 7°C) slows oxidation but bring to serving temperature (60°F to 65°F) before drinking.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight and fluorescent lights as UV exposure degrades wine quality by breaking down aroma and flavor compounds.
- Sealing: Ensure bottles are sealed with the original cork to prevent oxidation. For opened bottles reseal tightly with the cork or a specialized wine stopper to reduce air contact.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle lying on its side to keep the cork moist preventing it from drying out and shrinking which could allow air in.
- Humidity: Maintain relative humidity between 50% and 70% to keep cork integrity intact. In dry environments use a humidifier; avoid excessive humidity that could cause mold or label damage.
- Special Tips: Avoid vibration and strong odors near the storage area. For opened bottles consume within 2–3 days for best quality; refrigeration is recommended to slow spoilage.
These practices help preserve the wine’s quality and extend its optimal shelf life.
