CARE Finca Bancales Reserva Old Vines 2022

Finca Bancales shows the depth that old Garnacha vines can bring to a red wine. CARE makes this Cariñena cuvée entirely from Garnacha, drawing on vines that the estate describes as more than eighty years old. French oak maturation adds another layer to its ripe fruit character. Blackberry and plum lead the profile, alongside warm spice and a suggestion of mocha. The structure is substantial without losing the identity of the fruit. A lightly balsamic edge and well-integrated tannins complete the picture. This is a generous Spanish red for drinkers who enjoy concentration with a clearly defined grape character.
