The old vineyard of Colome
Wine has been grown on the Colome estate for nearly 200 years. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of 1,600 to 3,000 meters, making them among the highest vineyards in the world. The Torrontes grape, the white counterpart to the renowned Malbec, grows in the lowest-lying vineyards. This is where it thrives. It is sheltered from the elements; the Andes form a natural barrier. Furthermore, there are significant temperature variations at this altitude. These factors ensure optimal ripening of the grapes, making Colomo Torrentes an internationally acclaimed and beloved white wine.
