Care Blanco Sobre Lias

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’.

60% Garnacha Blanca and 40% Chardonnay. Up front, along with tropical pineapple, it’s got crisp apple and citrus notes while on the palate there’s a touch of creaminess from the lees ageing (Sobre Lias is Spanish for “Sur Lie”) along with the ripe fruitiness. Its balanced  acidity makes for a well structured, easy to drink wine.

Nose: Fresh, clean and intense aromas of pinapple, apricot, citrus blossom and apples

Palate: Very fruity with a balanced acidity. It is intense, crisp and refreshing

Food Pairings: A very pleasing match with shellfish, white fish and risotto
