Description

The color of the wine is a deep red with hints of purple.
The aroma is complex, with notes of red fruits, figs and blueberries, as well as hints of finely roasted coffee. Spices and dried fruits are also perceived, evoking barrel aging.
In the mouth, the wine is dense and complex, with fine tannins and refreshing acidity, presenting good balance. The persistent finesse of the tannins provides good longevity and a pleasant, smooth mouthfeel.

This wine will reveal all its complexity after aging in the bottle.

CARO , for CAtena and ROthschild, presents an Argentine identity carried by Malbec and an elegance and complexity due to its association with Cabernet Sauvignon.
The synthesis produces a voluptuous and refined wine, which harmoniously balances Argentine identity and burgundy style.

The idea of a partnership between the Rothschild and Catena families was born in 1999.
The Catena family has been producing wines for four generations.
Their extensive knowledge of Mendoza’s high-altitude terroirs places them among Argentina’s most renowned Malbec producers.
By bringing together the unparalleled expertise of Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite in producing great Cabernet Sauvignon, their goal is to develop a wine that combines French and Argentine cultures and the two grape varieties characteristic of each family.

Situated at the foot of the snow-capped peaks of the Andes Mountains, the Mendoza region is known as the best wine region in Argentina.
Planted on plateaus between 800 and 1200 m, Mendoza's vineyards are among the highest in the world.
Protected from the rains in the west by the mountains and the Pampas in the east, it is a very arid region.
Mendoza wines owe their character to the exceptional sunshine enjoyed by the vineyards and the large temperature variations between day and night.

Terroir
The CARO vineyard spans an 8-hectare plot of land in Altamira, in the Uco Valley, south of Mendoza.
The vineyards are planted at an altitude of 1000 m, on the ancient alluvial bed of the Tunuyán River.
