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

The 2023 vintage was characterised by generally warm and dry weather conditions. However, the season began with a cold spring. In our vineyards in the Uco Valley, Malbec budburst occurred on 13 October and Cabernet Sauvignon on 18 October. Conditions warmed up quickly, with 39 days of temperatures exceeding 35°C in our vineyards between late December and late March. Veraison took place on 25 January for Malbec and 30 January for Cabernet Sauvignon. On 18 February, an unexpected burst o frost occurred in various areas of the Uco Valley. Fortunately, our vineyards were not affected. October, November, and March were the wettest months, which allowed producing grapes of excellent quality and great oenological potential. The harvest began on 5 March with Luján de Cuyo Malbec in Las Compuertas and Agrelo. It continued in the Altamira and Gualtallary regions from 8 March. The Cabernet Sauvignon harvest in Altamira started on 17 March. The 2023 vintage concluded on 4 April for Malbec and 10 April for Cabernet Sauvignon.
