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
This vintage 2022 was a relatively dry vintage with an easy going season which helped to achieve the characteristic expression of Mendoza's high altitude vineyards. Bud break took place early October, as usual, and so did flowering in the second half of November. In the Uco Valley area, the harvest began with Malbec on March 21 and ended with Cabernet Sauvignon on April 7. Average temperatures were above historical average temperatures from September to February and slightly below in March and April. Regarding rainfall, they were lower than the historical averages for the vegetative period. These conditions allowed us to obtain healthy grapes with the ideal ripeness.

Tasting
Deep black color with violets highlights.
The nose is complex, reveals aromas of black fruit, such as blackberries and black cherries, and figs on a background of mild spices and subtle cocoa notes.
On the palate, the wine is dense and velvety, supported by fleshy and powerful tannins. The range of aromas gradually reveals itself, leading to an extremely flavorsome finish. A very balanced wine that expresses itself with subtlety.
