Bodegas Caro Aruma Malbec 2016

Mendoza

Argentine Malbec tends to be velvet smooth and deeply fruity with violet spice, but barrel aged Aruma has even more to offer. This award winning red combines the expertise of Bordeaux’s Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) and world renowned Nicolás Catena.

Aruma Malbec 2016 is an exceptionally rich and impressive wine. It brings together small batches of wine from tiny parcels of premium grapes to create an intricate and complex blend. In doing so it symbolises the union between its co-creators, ‘Decanter Man of the Year’ Nicolás Catena, whose wines are “beacons for quality in Argentina” (Steven Spurrier), and the Rothschilds of Bordeaux, “synonymous with wealth, prestige, history, respect and remarkable wines” (Robert Parker). Hand harvested, high grown, old vine grapes provide the wine’s outstanding fruit quality. Barrel ageing ensures seamless integration of flavours, spicy complexity and fabulously smooth tannins. Decant and serve with a tender rib-eye steak, roast beef, duck or venison.
