Win a case of Caro - one of Argentina’s finest red wines
Great wines don’t simply come from the classic wine growing regions of Europe these days, you can find them all over the world. But not many have the pedigree of this collaboration between Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) and top Argentinian producer Nicolas Catena THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED
The wine, Caro, which has been produced since 2003 started off as predominantly malbec but the 2016 vintage which is on offer here is 83% cabernet sauvignon. Tim Atkin rates it 97 in his 2019 Argentina Special Report describing it as a “stunning blend showing elegance, poise and finesse."
Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite is offering a 6x75cl case of Caro worth £245.94 as this month's prize but if you can’t wait to try it Davis Bell McCraith, their stockist in Bristol, is currently offering it at £228 for 6 bottles including vat or £210 for 6 if you order 12 bottles (i.e. two cases in total).
It’s definitely a wine to lay down. Atkin considers the drinking window from 2022-35.

Win a case of Errazuriz Don Maximiano Founder’s Reserve
We have a fabulous prize for the wine lovers among you this month - a six bottle case of Don Maximiano Founder’s Reserve 2013 from Vina Errazuriz*, one of the best known wineries in Chile. THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED.
Don Maximiano Founder’s Reserve (which is on sale in Waitrose Cellar for £54.50 a bottle) is a Bordeaux-inspired blend made in homage to the founder of the winery. The blend changes each year but the 2013 is predominantly cabernet sauvignon with 19% malbec, 6% carmenère and 5% petit verdot.
According to the winemaker’s notes “The resulting wine is fresh, layered with distinctive minerality and nuance. The refined tannins support a delicious texture and prolonged by a lingering finish providing great pleasure even at this early stage of its life.” (You can find a full description of the vintage, the vineyards from which it was drawn and the vinification on their website.)
You can obviously drink it with pleasure now (with roast lamb or a steak, I suggest FB) but it will keep for a good 10 or more years.
The closing date for the competition is 11.59pm GMT on Sunday March 31st 2019 and you must be 18 or over and live in the UK to enter. For other terms and conditions see below.
