Carán Red Wine 2020

Rioja Carán Red Wine

The Carán Red Wine is a Limited Edition of 6000 bottles. Selection of high-quality estates. Manual and staggered harvesting of the different varieties at their optimal ripeness. Wine NOT filtered.

In 2017, the most destructive frost in decades occurred, resulting in a reduced but miraculously excellent harvest. In 2020, the Carán wine was launched on the market during the most destructive pandemic in years. Our Carán wine is from the 2017 vintage, and our project was born in 2020. With this background, we believe that friendship, unity, and perseverance are key to overcoming any adversity.
