Collection: Bodega Colomé
Bodega Colomé was founded with the vision of making the finest high altitude wines in the world.
Colomé is home to some of the oldest continuously producing vines in the world. Arriving in the Northern Argentinian province of Salta in 1998, Donald Hess was inspired by the brilliant sunlight and excellent terroir that spurred on his vision to pioneer a new category called ‘high altitude’ wines.
In the high-altitude desert at 2600 meters, Donald came across ‘El Arenal vineyard’ and two years later expanded to include Colomé at 2300 meters, the oldest continually producing winery in Argentina (1831).
Today, they continue the tradition of producing a limited quantity of high altitude wines, grown with sustainable practices in a pure microclimate.
Acquired in 2001 by entrepreneurs and pioneers Donald and Ursula Hess with the aim of producing fine high-end wines in the high Calchaquí Valleys, it is currently run by the second generation, Larissa and Christoph Ehrbar.
