Aruma Malbec is the superstar collaboration combining the expertise of Bordeaux’s Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) and Argentinian pioneer Nicolás Catena at their joint project Bodegas Caro, culminating in the creation one of country's finest Malbec's. This is without doubt our star buy Malbec.
Grapes are specifically chosen from the high-altitude parcels of Agrelo and Altamira, some of the best sites in Mendoza and the Uco Valley. There is no oak ageing, which produces a fresh, ripe, and velvety style of wine with an emphasis on dark black and bramble fruits fused with an added touch of black pepper spice.
The perfect wine to open, sit back and enjoy by the fire...
Bodegas Caro, Aruma Malbec 2017
"This is a no-wood malbec with such pretty and enticing aromas and flavors. Dark berry and green tea undertones. Medium-to-full body, firm and silky tannins and a flavourful finish. Drink now."
91/100 points. James Suckling
"First produced in 2010, Aruma is always made with the younger vines at Caro, blending fruit from warmer Agrelo and the Uco Valley. Totally unoaked to let the fruit express itself and picked early to maintain freshness, this is focused, grassy and appealing with fine-grained tannins."
91/100 points. Tim Atkin
"The unoaked Malbec 2017 Aruma is 100% from Valle de Uco, and they want to show the pure expression of the grape in the place. This wine was born in 2009 and represents a very good value as an introduction to Valle de Uco. It's very juicy and fruit-driven, and it seems to have evolved positively since the last time I tasted it. Very pleasant, easy to drink, pure, clean and easy to like."
90/100 points. Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate)
