CARO

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
Following a prolonged mild winter at the foot of the Andes, the sunny days of spring (8 to 10 days) allowed normal progress of bud burst and flowering.
The night of October 3rd 2018 was extremely cold. In Altamira frost was fought with an active protection and fortunately it did not affect our CARO production.
The good weather prevailed over the rest of the season, with little rainfall at Altamira.
The abnormally cold vintage led to a late vintage (two to three weeks). Without significant rains, and with a perfect sanitary state we were able to wait for the grape to reach their maturity.
Our harvest started on the 25th of March in Altamira and finished on the 22nd of April in Gualtallary.
Varietals
Malbec : 64%

Tasting
Deep red color.
The nose is complex with red fruits and figs, followed by aromas of blackcurrant.
On the palate, the wine is round with soft tannins, displaying generous aromas of blueberry and blackberry. Well balanced, with a good persistence on the finish.
