Bodegas CARO
Blending: it's not just for wine. We are the perfect assemblage of two cultures: different characteristics merging together to give place to something new. When the old world merges with the new. When youth matures together with experience. When wildness becomes a bit more delicate. When Bordeaux meets Los Andes. There is us. We are Bodegas CARO.
The vintage
The season started with a cold spring. In our Uco Valley vineyards, the Malbec sprouted on October 13th and the Cabernet Sauvignon on October 18th. The conditions soon heated up, with 39 days with temperatures above 35°C recorded in our vineyards between the end of December and the end of March. Veraison occurred on January 25th for the Malbec and January 30th for the Cabernet sauvignon.
On February 18th, an unexpected burst of frost occurred in different areas of the Uco Valley. Thankfully, our vines were spared with temperatures remaining just above zero.
October, November and March were the months with the most accumulation of rainwater, enabling the production of grapes of excellent quality and oenological potential.
We began the harvest on March 5th with the Malbec from Luján de Cuyo in the towns of Las Compuertas and Agrelo. Then we continued in areas of Altamira and Gualtallary from March 8th. The harvest of the Cabernet Sauvignon in Altamira started on March 17th. The 2023 harvest ended on April 4th for the Malbec and April 10th for the Cabernet Sauvignon.
