Crafted by Bodegas Caro, a prestigious partnership between the Catena family and Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) in Mendoza, Argentina, the 2022 Petit Caro is a sophisticated blend primarily of Malbec with Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from high-altitude vineyards in the Uco Valley, including parcels in Altamira and Gualtallary. Grapes are hand-harvested, carefully sorted, and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, followed by 12 months of aging in French oak barrels to enhance structure and finesse. This process highlights the unique terroir of Mendoza’s calcareous and limestone-rich soils at elevations of 900–1,200 meters, delivering a wine that marries the bold fruit of Malbec with the refined structure of Cabernet Sauvignon, reflecting sustainable practices and Bordeaux-inspired craftsmanship.

Tasting Notes

This blend displays a deep garnet-purple hue with aromas of blackberry liqueur, cassis, and crushed violets, complemented by notes of mocha, graphite, and a hint of sweet spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet harmonious, offering concentrated flavors of dark plum, black cherry, and subtle tobacco, underpinned by fine, velvety tannins, bright acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish.

Awards and Accolades

The 2022 Petit Caro earned 92 points from James Suckling, who praised its refined structure, vibrant fruit, and elegant balance, highlighting its potential for further development.

Serving and Cellaring

Serve at 16°C after one hour of decanting to fully open its aromatic profile. Enjoy now for its vibrant character or cellar until 2036 to allow deeper spice and earthy nuances to evolve. A distinguished addition to any collection of Mendoza reds.
