Finca Decero Malbec Remolinos Vineyard 2016
Agrelo District, Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaFinca Decero started with bare land and a hands-on approach free of any traditional restraints. In fact, ‘decero’ means from scratch. This malbec hails from the Remolinos Vineyard in Agrelo at 3500’ above sea level in what was a less than perfect year, unless lower alcohol and higher acidity appeal to you as they do us. The vineyard takes its name from the Remolinos, or whirlwinds, which keep the grapes dry and in perfect condition. Powerful floral aromas jump from the glass along with red and blue fruit. The tannins are lighter this year, the style juicer, and more fun to drink thanks to supple, elegant tannins. After the ferment and maceration, 90 percent of the juice spends 14 months in French oak barrels (30 percent new). Grilled meats are the best tonic for this red.Tasted: 29 May 2018Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $27.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
