Description
Argentina's 'Grand Cru' from the winemakers behind world-famous Château Lafite and Argentina's renowned Catena family. Caro is to Argentina what Super Tuscans are to Italy. A blend of the finest local grape with the King of international varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon.
Caro is delicious proof that in the hands of a master, Argentina's vine paradise can produce exceptional fine wines - intense, red and black fruit flavours with hints of sweet spice wrapped in smooth creamy oak.
The idea of forming a partnership between Domaines Barons de Rothschild-Lafite and the Catena family was first mooted in 1988. Both partners brought much to the party. The Catena family has produced wine for three generations. Consequently, it was able to draw on its vast knowledge of the high altitude terroirs of the Mendoza region as well as its passion for Malbec. DBR-Lafite contributed its centuries-old skills in growing, vinifying and ageing great Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as its know-how in blending different grape varieties to produce one wine that is greater than the sum of its parts. The first vintage was produced in 2000 to instant acclaim.
The 2004 is a deep and serious wine with classic bramble, cassis and cedarwood complexity. Powerful yet smooth and silk it I best enjoyed with roast beef, Spring lamb or wild venison.
