The idea of forming a partnership between Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite and the prestigious Argentinian wine family, Catena, was born in 1999. Initial enthusiasm quickly became a concrete plan to produce a single wine that would combine French and Argentine cultures and enhance the alliance between the signature grape of each producer, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Work began in 1999 to produce Bodegas CARO’s first vintage in 2000. The success of the early vintages resulted in the creation of another wine in 2003, Amancaya, which similarly to its older brother is based on a harmonious balance of Argentinian identity and Bordeaux style. Bodegas CARO later decided to celebrate the grape variety for which Argentina’s vineyards are famous by launching a pure Malbec, Aruma, in 2010. The most recent addition to the esteemed portfolio has been Petit Caro. Working with a similar blend to Amancaya, sourced from only the best plots and given extra time in oak for a beautiful smoky depth of flavour. The Bodegas CARO winery, set in the heart of Mendoza, serves as the anchor of the CARO project. The renovation of the historic building and gardens in order to expand the winery and open the Bodega to the outside has brought the final touch to the original project.Read less
