Bodegas Caro Le Petit Caro 2022, Mendoza, Argentina

Regular price £24.00

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.

A deep red wine with ruby highlights. Complex notes of red fruit and figs followed by aromas of blackcurrant. Well-rounded and well-balanced with soft tannins and a persistent finish. Decant for one hour and enjoy with BBQ beef dishes through to 2030.
