Petit Caro 2019, Mendoza, Argentina

£23.00£124.20

The idea of forming a partnership between Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) and the Catena family was born in 1999. 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. The Catena family have an unrivalled knowledge of Malbec and the terroir of Mendoza, couple this with DBR Lafite’s exceptional knowledge of blending Cabernet Sauvignon, and it was clear to see that this partnership would yield magnificent wines. Petit Caro, the latest addition to the range, was first launched with the 2017 vintage and completes the fourth offering from Bodegas Caro.

Tasting notes

The vintage is dominated by Malbec due to the intense heat of the vintage. The nose is rich and sweet-edged with notes of blueberry, cassis, red cherry and figs with hints of dark chocolate. The palate is lusciously textured with a long fruit-filled finish. After a few years in the bottle this beautiful wine has shed it’s youthful verve, leaving an accomplished elegant feel and an altogether better sense of balance and maturity.  It’s hard to think of a more impressive bottle of Malbec at £23.00
