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 growing cycle started with a cold spring with sub-zero temperatures, leading to a reduction in expected grape yields and a slight delay in budburst of around seven days on average for Malbec across the different areas of the Uco Valley. Rainfall was normal, with a total of 206 mm between September and April, which helped maintain an excellent sanitary condition of the vines. During the summer, five atypical heatwaves were recorded, notably in January when maximum temperatures exceeded 34 °C for ten consecutive days. Veraison was atypical this year, very long and uneven within the bunches, with ripening in line with the overall behaviour of the plants since budburst. The harvest was about ten days later than the average of recent years, starting with our Malbec in Paraje Altamira on 20 March and ending with our Malbec in Paraje San Pablo, at 1,400 metres above sea level, on 17 April.
