COLOME
They use an old Argentinian system that uses a spacing of 3x3mts and has the fruit wire attached at a height of 2mts. The advantage of this parral system is that it helps to prevent frost damage due to the high positioning of the fruit, and the heavy leaf coverage above the fruit that help to protect grapes from sun damage.
Colomé was farmed for thousands of years by native indios which were excellent stewards of the land. The winery is in “valles calchaquíes” and the primary foundation was in 1831, probably with Nicolás Severo de Esasmendi y Echalar (Spanish Govenor of Salta). Today, Colomé is propiety of Donald Hess and is very well knowed for the alcoholic and interesting wines that they make.
