BODEGAS CARO Mendoza, Argentina ""The idea of forming a partnership between Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) and the Catena family was first mooted in 1998. Initial enthusiasm quickly became a concrete plan to produce a single wine that would combine French and Argentine cultures and the two signature grapes of each producer, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Both partners brought much to the party. The success of the first vintages of Caro (2000, 2001, 2002) encouraged DBR (Lafite) and the Catena family to create another premium wine, this time a Malbec-dominated cuv�e, that would nevertheless be a balance between the Bordeaux and the Argentine styles. To celebrate its Andean origin, the wine was named Amancaya, after the mountain flower which grows in the Andes. 2003 was the first vintage. Currently, plots of vines for Caro come from within the Catena family's own vineyards and are supplemented with grapes from other top vineyards in Mendoza, known for the high quality of their Malbec and, in particular, old Malbec. The Malbec comes from vines that are over 30 years old, located at between 800 and 1,400 metres above sea level in the regions of Vistalba, La Consulta, Tupungato and Agrelo. The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes come from vines that are over 20 years old and planted at between 950 and 1,150 metres above sea level in Agrelo and La Consulta. Located in the heart of the Mendoza region, the winery at Bodegas Caro is also at the centre of the Caro project. The wines have been made here since the 2002 vintage and work is still in progress in the cellar to further improve facilities. |
