Tasting notes

The Petit Caro 2022, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, typically presents a deep ruby colour. On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of red and black fruits, such as cassis, plum, and cherry, complemented by subtle notes of spice, vanilla, and a hint of tobacco from its oak influence. The palate is well-structured and balanced, with ripe, velvety tannins and a refreshing acidity that carries the fruit flavours through to a persistent and elegant finish.

This wine beautifully marries the power and structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the lush fruit and soft texture of Malbec, creating an approachable yet sophisticated expression of Mendoza's terroir. It is enjoyable in its youth but also possesses the potential for further development with a few years of cellaring. Pair it with grilled meats, hearty stews, or aged cheeses.
