At Bodegas Caro, the old world merges with the new. Caro is the perfect blend of two cultures, two families and two noble grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, grown and assembled together with combined expertise. Produced from the finest high-altitude terroirs of the Andes mountains in Mendoza, with the same care as a Bordeaux Grand Cru, Caro is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels made by the Tonnellerie des Domaines Barons de Rothschild in Pauillac. The result is an exceptionally voluptuous and refined wine with great complexity and ageing potential.

Nestled at the foothills of the snowcapped Andes mountains, Mendoza is known as the best wine producing region in Argentina. With vines planted on high plateaux between 800 and 1200m above sea level, Mendoza's vineyards are known as the highest in the world. Sheltered from the rain by the mountains to the West and the Pampa to the East, the region is very arid. Mendoza wines draw their character from an exceptional sun exposure and wide temperature variations between night and day.
Tasting notes: This wine has a dark, intense colour, with hints of violet. The nose reveals a complex mix of aromas including raspberry, black pepper, violets, cloves and subtle notes of dark chocolate.

Vinification details: CARO is made with the utmost care. Grapes are carefully selected and hand harvested. After destemming, they are placed in temperature controlled stainless steel vats for alcoholic fermentation. Maceration lasts for a period of 20 days with gentle pump-over to ease tannin extraction and fix the colour. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally in tanks, then the wine is transferred into French oak barrels made by the Tonnellerie des Domaines in Pauillac (80% new oak) for a period of 18 months.
