Finca Decero - Petit Verdot 2013
Vintage
2013 was cooler than other recent vintages, with cool temperatures throughout the summer and fall plummeting particularly at night time. As such, the winery decided to pick Malbec between 5-7 days later than the average year in order to achieve full phenolic ripeness, whilst Cabernet and
Tannat ripened towards the end of April with perfect tannin structure. These cool conditions also lead to more pronounced acidity and aromatics balanced by seductive tannins.
Estate
Within a few vintages, Finca Decero has become recognized not only for having one of the highest quality vineyards in all of Mendoza, but also for catapulting into an elite group of the most highly regarded producers in Argentina. Once a desolate piece of land in the foothills of the Andes,
absent of everything but shrubs, Finca Decero is now a one-of-a-kind vineyard where each vine is nurtured by hand and the winemaking is without compromise. The wines are made by Marcos Fernandez, formerly a winemaker for Paul Hobbs in Napa Valley.
Vineyard
Located at 3500 feet, in the renowned Mendoza appellation of Agrelo, our one-ofa-kind Remolinos Vineyard takes its name from 'remolinos' – whirlwinds which keep the grapes dry and in perfect condition before being handpicked each vintage.
Wine
As the name suggests, Mini Ediciones are highly limited parcels of wine. From lesser known varieties, these wines are wholly expressive of the Remolinos Vineyard and represent an opportunity to taste a variety rarely seen in a pure form. In 2006, in recognition of its unique potential
from the coarse, low vigour soils of our Remolinos Vineyard, the winery selected a few exceptional barrels of wine to make a well-deserved Decero Mini Ediciones Petit Verdot.
