In the glass Intensely aromatic with ripe raspberries alongside floral and liquorice notes. The palate is full, soft and chock full of red berry fruit spiced up by touches of anis, vanilla, and toast from light oak aging. The finish shows soft, sweet tannins and fresh, lively acidity. 13.6% Bonarda is an old Italian grape with its family home in Piedmont, which like so many of its compatriots upped sticks in the early twentieth century and headed for the New World. One of the most planted grapes in its adopted home, it seems to thrive in the pale blue and white stripes of Argentina, producing ripe, characterful wines that seem to keep a subtle suggestion of an Italian accent. A bit about Alamos The Alamos wines are made high up in the Andes by the team at Catena Zapata. Nicolas Catena was the third generation of his family to make wine in Mendoza but the first to see the potential in planting higher and higher vineyards in search of cool climate sites ideal for the production of fine wine. Today, he works with his daughter Laura in their relentless pursuit of the finest possible quality wines from their unique vineyards. (12 x 75 cl)

Bodega Caro CARO 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. Caro has a strong Argentinian identity, heralded by Malbec, while obtaining further elegance and complexity through blending with Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged 14 months, including 60% in new barrels this blend is a rich and refined wine with a harmonious balance between the Argentinian and Bordeaux styles. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £290.62
