Wine Description & Tasting Notes
Bodegas Care, not far from the town of Cariñena, lies in one of the oldest wine producing regions of Aragon in northeast Spain. A relative newcomer, they started up in 2000 and make all their wines from their own vineyards at Finca Bancales and Finca Cadillos which extend to around 100 hectares in total. The modern winery, run by owner and head wine maker Nacho Lazaro, sits among the vineyards and is most definitely ‘state of the art’.
75% Garnacha and 25% Syrah aged on its lees and spending a couple of months in oak barrels adding spices and harmony to the ripe red and black fruit aromas. There’s also plenty of this powerful fruit coming through on the palate which is nicely rounded and full, but at the same time velvety and smooth.
Nose: Complex with fragrant and ripe red and black fruit
Palate: Powerful fruit, which is perfectly balanced, full and intense with a spiced berry lingering finish
Food Pairings: Great enjoyed on its own or served with Grilled/ BBQ meats and spicy dishes
