Description
Explore the exquisite and distinctive character of the Bodega Colomé `Lote Especial` `Finca Colomé` Salta Tannat 2022, a full-bodied dry red wine crafted from 100% Tannat grapes, sourced exclusively from a single plot within the breathtaking Colomé vineyard at an impressive altitude of 2,300 meters. Nestled in Argentina's Calchaquí Valley, this remarkable vintage exemplifies the region's unique terroir, combining intensity with freshness to create a vibrant and engaging experience.
With its deep ruby hue, this wine opens up to a captivating aroma profile where ripe blackberries and dark plums harmonize with tantalizing notes of warm spice and delicate violet petals. The palate is velvety and structured, revealing layers of dense black fruit complemented by lively acidity and firm, rounded tannins. Each sip culminates in a long, savory finish intertwined with rich black cherry, subtle spice, and hints of mineral complexity.
Ideal Serving Suggestions:
- Serve slightly chilled at 14–16°C (57–61°F) to achieve the perfect balance of tannins and freshness.
- Utilize wide-bowled glasses to amplify the wine's rich aroma, swirling gently to unveil its intricate notes.
- Pair with smoky grilled meats such as spiced lamb kebabs or traditional Argentine chorizo for a delightful regional pairing.
- Complement with black garlic mashed potatoes or roasted root vegetables caramelized with honey and chili flakes for an exquisite flavor contrast.
- Enhance the tasting experience by serving with dark chocolate shards infused with smoked sea salt to accentuate the wine's depth.
- Perfect for festive gatherings, this wine also shines when used in a mulled red wine punch with star anise, delivering warmth on chilly evenings.
Store this exceptional vintage with care, maintaining optimal conditions to preserve its quality and longevity. Offering a robust structure and aging potential, the Bodega Colomé Tannat is a testament to the artistry of winemaking, bringing together expressiveness and approachability in every bottle.

Storage advice
For Red Wine storage including robust varietals like Tannat apply the following practical recommendations:
- Temperature: Maintain a constant temperature between 55°F and 65°F (12°C - 18°C) ideally closer to 55°F - 60°F (13°C - 16°C) to slow aging without risking premature maturation. Avoid fluctuations and keep temperature never above 70°F (21°C) or below 45°F (7°C) to preserve quality.
- Light Exposure: Store in a dark place away from direct sunlight and fluorescent lighting to prevent UV light from degrading the wine. Artificial lighting should be incandescent or minimal.
- Sealing: Keep the bottle sealed with its original cork tightly in place. Proper cork condition is essential to avoid air ingress and oxidation.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles horizontally to keep the cork moist. This prevents cork shrinkage preserving the seal and protecting the wine from excessive oxygen exposure.
- Humidity: Maintain humidity levels between 50% and 70% to keep the cork supple and prevent it from drying out or molding. Use a humidifier or dehumidifier if necessary to achieve this balance.
- Opened Bottle Storage: Once opened red wine should be consumed within a few days. Store the opened bottle in the refrigerator at around 40°F - 45°F (4°C - 7°C) with the cork or a wine stopper replaced to slow oxidation. Allow the wine to warm back to ideal serving temperature (~60-65°F) before drinking.
These conditions will optimize the longevity and integrity of red wine both before and after opening.
