Bodega Caro AMANCAYA Mendoza Argentina
Description: Owner of Chateau Lafite Rothschild for five generations, the Rothschild family has been based in this Bordeaux vineyard since 1868. High values and the respect of traditional methods make them passionate about harmony and excellence. Their wines bear witness to that passion year after year and their skills have patiently enriched the wines through the generations, with world-renowned success. Over the years, Domain Baron de Rothschild has expanded its offerings through the acquisition of several french Chateau's as well as ventures in Portugal. However, in 1998 the Caro Project, based in Mendoza, Argentina was started. The idea was raised about forming a partnership between Domaines Barons de Rothschild and the Catena family. Initial enthusiasm was rapidly transformed into a project to produce a single wine combining French and Argentinean cultures. Amancaya, like its sister wine Caro, has been the latest development and presents a harmonious balance between the Argentinean and Bordeaux styles. A more fruity style wine coming from the higher percentage of Malbec has produced an intense purple-red colour with aromas of ripe red cherries and wild strawberries, underpinned by notes of smoky vanilla from the oak. On the palate it has good concentration but is both fresh and full. Balanced and very attractive with tannins of great quality this is a wine to enjoy to the long finish. The word Amancaya is the native indian name of a flower of the Andes that you can find in the Mendoza area. (12 x 75 cl)
