Bodegas Care Finca Marimu Single Vineyard 2022

Over 200 years ago, an ancient Roman settlement called CARE made the first grape juices in Aragon. The city of Carinena today, sits on the same land as this Roman settlement, upon which is the origin of Garnacha. Located in Carinena DO, Bodegas Care was setup in 2000 by the Aragonese families Daz and Lzaro, who came together to produce contemporary Mediterranean wines. In 2003, they released their first wine, Finca Bancales

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Carignan from old vines (over 50 years old). The fruit comes from Finca Marimu vineyard in Carinena in Aragon, Spain

Taste Profile: Bright garnet color with a purple rim. Aromas of black fruits, plums, and blueberries, as well as black spices, coffee beans, and ink. Powerful and balanced on the palate, with ripe fruit flavors, present tannins, and exceptional acidity from its long aging. Long and complex aftertaste, perfect for sipping on its own or pairing with wine.

Winemaking Process: A pre-fermentation maceration takes place for 6 days at a temperature of 10C. The fermentation temperature is allowed to reach 26C. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine remains in maceration with the skins for 15 days. Malolactic fermentation takes place in tanks.

The wine then ages for 12 months in French oak barrels.
