Northwest
Argentina is South-America in a glass. Lush, green valleys, arid
plains, snowcapped vulcano’s, saltlakes,… When visiting this area there
are two must-stays in the Salta Province: Bodega Colome near the town of Molinos and the House of Jasmines near Salta city. Colome is a wine estate owned by the excentric Swiss businessman Donald Hess who
bought this estancia a couple of years ago and turned it very fast into
a drinkable example of how ambitious new world wines can be. Here, at
an altitude of 3002 meters, Hess experiments with high altitudes wines
with lots of attitude and flavour. Bodega Colome is a dreamy estancia
away from everything where gaucho’s en Indo’s rule the land. Perfect for
the Latin America lover.
