This week our profiled winery was CARINAE. Brigitte and Philippe Subra came from France in 1998. They fell in love with Mendoza, and decided to create CarinaE Viñedos & Bodega in January 2003. Since then, this boutique winery has been producing high quality wines. Their total wine process, from the management of the vineyards to bottling, is supervised by Michel Rolland’s team in Mendoza, via his consultant firm named Enorolland.

We had a great evening tasting two Malbecs;

• CARINAE ROSADO DE MALBEC 2008 - great summer wine!… but it also worked perfectly in a freezing day as yesterday thanks to the great atmosphere and time we were having among the event attendees and friends!

• CARINAE GRAN MALBEC 2007 – Smooth and elegant are the two adjectives that come immediately to my mind. This is a perfect wine to pair with just a nice talk among friends! You can easily enjoy it by itself !

Join us for Vinos &  Tapas every Thursday from 8pm to 10pm at The Vines Wine Bar & Vinoteca at The Park Hyatt Mendoza.
