Colome Torrontes

It was just the type of news we love to hear ''a deal has fallen through stocks of the finest Decanter award winning Torrontes must be sold ... immediately!''. We needed no second invitation we flew in, snaffled the lot and got you a great deal on a mind blowingly aromatic Torrontes from an estate with the world's highest vineyards. Founded in 1831, Bodega Colome is Argentina's oldest working winery. In 2001 they invested in a small, boutique winery in Salta and planted vineyards at a staggering 2300m above sea level. The extreme altitude creates grapes with immense flavour concentration due to long hours of sunshine and cold nights. It's what makes Colome Torrontes so utterly unique and irresistible. Highly recommended even super critic Robert Parker is a fan don't miss out! ''Much better and way more complex than your average Torrontes. The bouquet is flower power, lychee and tangerine, and overall this is an exotic, driving wine like no other from Argentina. Expect roundness and similarities to Viognier; it's amplified and impressive ... Best Buy. 91 Points'' Michael Schachner, Wine Enthusiast Magazine.
