Bodegas Anadas, CariñenaCare Finca Bancales Reserva Old Vines 2022

Bodegas Anadas’ CariñenaCare Finca Bancales Reserva Old Vines 2022 is a rich, full-bodied red from the heart of Spain’s DO Cariñena. Made from old-vine fruit and matured for 12 months in French oak, it combines generous blackberry and plum character with layers of mocha, spice and polished structure. The wine forms part of the CARE project, whose name refers to the ancient Roman name for Cariñena and reflects the winery’s close connection to the region.

Tasting Notes
Deep in colour, the wine opens with clean aromas of ripe blackberry, followed by inviting notes of mocha and warming spice. On the palate, sweet blackberry and plum flavours take centre stage, complemented by hints of cinnamon, clove and nutmeg. It is full-bodied and generously textured, with natural tannins and a well-integrated oak influence that adds depth and complexity. Enjoyable now for its ripe fruit and supple richness, the wine should develop further over the next several years as its fruit, tannins and oak continue to harmonise. It is best served after a short period of aeration, or decanted if opened in its youth.

Production
Produced in DO Cariñena, the wine is made from carefully selected old-vine fruit, with Bodegas Anadas focusing on vineyard quality as a key part of the CARE project. The grapes are vinified with precision to preserve their ripe fruit character while building texture and concentration, followed by 12 months of ageing in French oak barrels. The result is a structured red in which the character of Cariñena is balanced by oak-derived spice and mocha notes.

Food & Serving
Its full body and natural tannins make it a strong match for grilled or slow-cooked red meats, roast lamb, hearty stews, charcuterie and mature hard cheeses. Serve at approximately 16–18°C. A 30–60 minute decant is recommended, particularly when serving the wine young, to soften the tannins and open up its fruit and spice aromas.

Producer
Founded in 1935, Bodegas Anadas is one of the oldest family-owned wineries in the Cariñena region. Based in the heart of the appellation, the estate is best known for its CARE range, which focuses primarily on Garnacha-based reds alongside selected white and rosé wines. The winery’s dedicated CARE project brings together carefully chosen vineyards, precise winemaking and distinctive label artwork by artist Enrique Torrijos, expressing the influence of Cariñena’s sun and soils.
