Producer Description
Bodega Colome9 was founded in 1831, probably by the Spanish Governor of Salta, Nicole1s Severo de Isasmendi y Echalar. In 1854, his daughter Ascensif3n, who married to Jose9 Benjamedn De1valos, brought the first French pre-phylloxera Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon vines to Colome9. Grapes from three vineyards, planted in that year, are still used in the production of Colome9 Reserva wines. Colome9 Estate belonged to Isasmendi-De1valos families along 170 years. Donald Hess acquired it in 2001.Donald and Ursula Hess first visited the Calchaqued Valleys in 1998. They were searching for the perfect terroir and the ideal weather to produce truly unique Argentinean wines. What they discovered here was beyond their expectations: they actually found their second home. The grandeur and natural beauty of Colome9 inspired and rejuvenated them. In 2001, they purchased Colome9. Since then, they created the recent history of Colome9, the richest in achievements and developments, both for Winery and the people of Colome9.Their vision includes social responsibility towards the people of Colome9. Hess family contributed to the building of the village community centre and the church, and to the betterment of the school and the community housing. Nowadays, Colome9 is the source of employment and income for most of the village inhabitants.Today, Colome9 Winery is a model winery producing quality premium wines in Argentina. Every year, it produces over half a million litres of wine and exports its wines to over 40 countries around the world.
