In 1549, Calchaqui Valley was first occupied by the Spanish conquistadores but they encountered stiff resistance from the native population. 90 years later the Spanish succeeded expropriating the native population. As the tale goes, the native tribe chief Colomln received vines from the Spanish conquistadores in the late 16th century for good services rendered. The old Colomi winery was founded in 1831. probably by the Spanish Governor of Salta, Nicolas Severo de Isasmendi y Echalar. His daughter Ascencion, who married Jose Benjamin Davalos, introduced in 1854 from France pre-phylloxera Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon wines to Colome.

Bodega Colomé Torrontés Calchaquies Estate 2011
Snoothrank:

Bodega Colomé Torrontés Calchaquies Estate 2011
Snoothrank:
This is a truly amazing and surprising wine! I fell in love with it as soon as I experienced the beautiful floral bouquet, then the clean, crisp palette surprised me because it was much dryer then I had expected. It is so fresh. It will now be my new "go to" white wine for the summer. And so affordable, under $15/bottle! Read More

Bodega Colomé Torrontés Calchaquies Estate 2011
Snoothrank:
Very pale yellow. Very floral on the nose with some tropical fruit scents in there. Something of a viscous sensation in the mouth. Honey-ish, fruity--slightly citrus, slightly melon--flavors. Definitely, a gewurz sensation at the back of the throat. Slight tartness lingers in the aftertaste. $11.99 at WIne Club Read More
