A new brand to the NZ market and a new brand to Fine Wine Delivery Co. Casarena is a strong family-owned Argentinian winery, champions and pioneers of their own region, seeking out hidden gems in their local area of Lujan de Cuyo, rather than following the path of many by planting vineyards in Mendoza. Lujan de Cuyo is a region full of tradition with many unique meso-climates that show a lot of potential. James Suckling is a keen fan and endorses Casarena, he is not alone there. And for the price, the risks are minimal. We all want something new in our life, and here is the perfect opportunity to indulge.

dark berry fruit aromas on the nose, hints of grilled meats, ripe blackcurrants, and a delicate perfume of rose petals.

a deep colour and a wine with plush, generous fruit on the entry, fruity and alluring. Those same dark berry fruit flavours are mirrored on the palate with hints of char-grilled meat. A fruity structure with dusty, chalky tannins, the quintessential BBQ wine, too easy to drink and a wine that everyone will love. Drinking well now through 2027. Life is complicated enough; this wine will solve a lot of those difficult questions; an uncomplicated wine that’s suitable for family and friends alike.
