Bodegas Caro Aruma Malbec 2023, Mendoza, Argentina

£18.00

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. Since its introduction in 2010, Aruma has been produced solely from hand-harvested Malbec and is produced in a plush juicy style balancing elegance and power.

Malbec is all the rage in the UK, and has been for a few years. The grape variety flourishes in Mendoza, and it would be fair to say it produces the best results on the planet. As with any grape, the careful hand of the producer means everything – let’s be clear no-one knows Malbec better than the Catena family, and DBR Lafite are among the finest wine producers on the planet. It’s no surprise then that this fruit-filled, punchy and utterly gorgeous Malbec delivers oodles of luscious black fruit and spice. This vintage represents a return to form for Aruma with notes of violets, cassis and chocolate covered blueberry. Great stuff!
