Decero Petit Verdot Remolinos Vineyard is an exceptional single-vineyard wine crafted from 100% Petit Verdot grapes grown at Finca Decero’s Remolinos Vineyard in the Agrelo sub-region of Mendoza, Argentina. This wine benefits from the vineyard’s unique terroir, marked by cool desert conditions and loamy, sandy soils with good drainage at an elevation of 1,050 meters. The rigorous estate viticulture includes hand-harvesting with meticulous sorting processes to ensure optimal grape quality. The wine undergoes vinification in stainless steel tanks to retain its aromatic intensity, followed by aging in French oak barrels which soften its natural tannins and impart subtle notes of spice and vanilla. Consistently rated highly by critics, this wine showcases the potential of Petit Verdot as a single varietal wine, expressing a blend of complexity and elegance.
