Bodegas Anadas, CariñenaCare XCLNT 2022

Bodegas Anadas’ CariñenaCare XCLNT 2022 is a polished red wine from the historic DO Cariñena, where the family-owned winery has been making wine since 1935. Part of the CARE range—named after the ancient Roman name for Cariñena—it reflects the estate’s careful selection of vineyards and focus on expressive, high-quality wines rooted in the region’s heritage.

Tasting Notes
The wine is expected to show a deep ruby-red colour, with ripe berry fruit and subtle spice emerging on the nose. On the palate, it combines generous, sun-ripened fruit with a rounded structure, gentle tannins and a touch of oak-derived complexity. Fermentation and malolactic maturation in French oak contribute additional polish and depth without overshadowing the character of the fruit. Enjoy it now for its youthful, approachable style, or allow it to develop further over the short to medium term in suitable cellar conditions.

Production
Produced in the heart of DO Cariñena, the wine is made using traditionally minded methods, beginning with a period of cold maceration to encourage colour and aromatic expression. Fermentation takes place at 25°C, followed by malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels, adding texture and complexity. Bodegas Anadas carefully selects its vineyards and production infrastructure as part of its dedicated CARE project, although the specific grape variety and harvesting method for this cuvée are not stated.

Food & Serving
A natural partner for grilled or roasted steak, braised beef and game dishes, particularly preparations with herbs, mushrooms or a rich sauce. Serve at around 16–18°C to balance its fruit and structure. Decanting is not essential, but a brief 20–30 minute decant can help open the wine and soften its youthful profile.

Producer
Founded in 1935, Bodegas Anadas is one of the oldest family-owned wineries in the Cariñena region. The estate is closely associated with the CARE range, an ambitious and carefully executed project spanning red, white and rosé wines, with a particular focus on Garnacha-based reds. Its wines celebrate the area’s Roman heritage and are distinguished by labels featuring artwork by Enrique Torrijos, designed to evoke the sun and soils of Cariñena.
