It started with the idea of crafting a wine with the signature varietals from each partner, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, respectively. The Catenas with their knowledge of the high altitude vineyards and the Rothschild experience in winemaking and aging the project was an immediate success. The Bodegas Caro wines are an expression of Mendoza fruit with Bordeaux style. After a couple of years they decided to create a second wine in the BOrdeaux fashion and Amancaya was born. Amancaya is the native name for a wild flower that is found near the vineyards.
