Bodeas Care

Over 200 years ago, an ancient Roman settlement called CARE made the first grape juices in Aragon. Today, Bodegas Care in modern day Carinena DO, sits on the same land as this Roman settlement, upon which is the origin of Garnacha.

Description

Bodegas Care Solidarity Rose 2023

Grape Varietals & Region: A cheeky blend of 50% Tempranillo & 50% Cabernet Sauvignon. Coming from Carinena in Aragon, Spain, it has an altitude between 600 to 800 meters, with a Continental Mediterranean climate, scarce rainfall below 250 liters, cold and dry wind called Cierzo. Rocky and poor soils.

Taste Profile: Bright pale pink colour with blue tones. Fresh aromas of red fruits and cream caramel. On the palate the wine is fresh with a great balanced acidity. Wide and enjoyable mid-palate, remembering the fruits that appeared on the nose.

Winemaking Process: The grapes for this wine come from Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes grown in vineyards around 700 metres. The grapes are night-harvested by hand-picking to preserve freshness and ensure high quality of grapes go into the wine. They are handled with care using a hydraulic vertical press, which produces a high quality must; all under the watchful eyes of Oscar Martinez, Care’s winemaker.

Crisp & Dry Rosé

Provence rose is going to be the classic representation of this wine style. Usually, these roses emit a salmon pink hue, and Cinsault is a common grape varietal to make these wines, but Syrah & Pinot noir are other rising varietals to produce wines in a similar style
Characterised by dry pink berry & grapefruit notes, with crisp acidity & minerality
