    Caro

    Immerse yourself into the world of fine wine with Caro, a critically acclaimed product of two prestigious winemaking families, Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) and Nicolás Catena. Deriving its elegance and poise from its French lineage and robustness and intensity from its Argentinian roots, Caro represents the perfect blend of both cultures.

    The Production of Caro

    Caro showcases an exquisite blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, the two flagship grapes of its creators. These carefully selected grapes, cultivated in the Mendoza region's best vineyards, undergo a meticulous process of vinification to create this masterpiece of a wine.

    Flavour Profile of Caro

    Boasting a deep ruby colour, Caro unfolds a complex palate of dark fruits, spices, and a hint of mint, all underlined by soft tannins. Its rich taste and enduring finish promise a unique experience for every fine wine lover.

    Awards and Recognitions

    Caro's superiority has been unanimously acknowledged by leading wine publications. It has won numerous awards for its exceptional quality, culminating into a wine that has remained unchanged in its excellence since its first vintage in 2000.

    Investing in Caro

    Given its high scores consistently recorded by trusted critic sources, Caro is not just a stunning wine to drink but also a well-considered investment. Its limited production ensures exclusivity, adding value to your wine collection.

    The cedary nose of the 2016 Caro transported me to the wines from Bordeaux, and the explanation might be because the blend is 83% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Malbec—the highest percentage of Cabernet in the history of Caro. This has very good complexity; it feels young (Cabernet tends to develop at a slower pace than Malbec), even though it matured in 100% new oak the oak is very integrated. The barriques are only produced by the Lafite barrel makers, and there is great care in the selection of the wood and the toast; the barrels are designed to produce a more elegant style of wine, subtle and harmonious, with a notable absence of toasted and smoky aromas. This wine is polished and sleek, but there is nice balance to develop nicely in bottle for a good decade. 50,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2017.

    This is one of the most direct and clear Caros in a long time with blue-fruit, violet and sandalwood aromas and flavors. Crushed-stone, too. Full-bodied, yet tight and contracted with a level of shyness to its strength. The length derives from the excellence of the cabernet. One for the cellar. Blend of 74% malbec and 26% cabernet sauvignon. Try after 2023, but exciting to drink all the same.

    Combining the considerable talents of Fernando Buscema and Philippe Rolet (the former made the wine, the latter did the blend), Caro is one of the wines of the vintage in 2018. Paraje Altamira is the source of this finely judged cuvée of Malbec and 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in 80% new wood. Subtle, graceful and perfumed, it’s a wine that carries its structure and concentration lightly, with graphite, cassis and blueberry fruit, fresh acidity and harmonious, caressing tannins. Superb stuff.

    A very impressive red in its own right. Malbec-based with 34% Cabernet Sauvignon for company, followed by ageing in 50% new wood, it’s an inky, structured, nuanced pan-Mendoza blend, showing plum, blackberry and cassis flavours and firm, ageworthy tannins.

    The 2021 CARO, 79% Malbec and 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, is deep garnet-purple in color. It soars from the glass with expressive notes of plum preserves, blueberry compote, and licorice with hints of candied violets and spice cake. The full-bodied palate is jam packed with perfumed black fruits, framed by super-ripe, super-plush tannins and tantalizing freshness, finishing very long and fragrant. This is an impressive showing for this joint venture between Lafite Rothschild and Nicolas Catena.
