Decero Tannat from the renowned Remolinos Vineyard in the Agrelo region of Mendoza, Argentina, showcases the robust character and deep complexity of Tannat, a grape originally from the French region of Madiran. The unique terroir of the vineyard, located at an altitude of 1050 meters above sea level, provides a long growing season with temperate days and cool nights, allowing the grapes to develop intense flavors and balanced acidity. The wine is crafted using a combination of traditional winemaking techniques and state-of-the-art practices. Ageing takes place in French oak barrels for 14 months, contributing to the wine’s layers of complexity and rich texture. Known for its expressive dark fruit profile, minerality, and refined tannins, the Decero Tannat has consistently received high praise from critics for its elegance and powerful structure. The Remolinos Vineyard itself is named after the tiny whirlwinds—’remolinos’—that keep the vines dry and free from disease naturally, a testament to the vineyard’s dynamic ecosystem.
