Decero Malbec

Agrelo is recognized for red varieties and whilst it has been acknowledged for its high quality Malbec it has also become known as the source of some of the finest Cabernet Sauvignon emanating from Argentina. Our three Clasicos wines are single varietal wines: Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. These wines are testify to their unique site of origin, our Remolinos Vineyard. Throughout the vineyard and the winemaking our "amano" approach is just as evident here as on each of other wines. Four steps of selection including double sorting tables, small parcel winemaking, basket pressing and a meticulous attention to quality ensure that after 14 months maturation in French oak these are wines of substance but each, above all, shows the hallmark elegance of our Remolinos Vineyard. The vintage was an excellent vintage in Agrelo, again marked by low yields of high quality. The lower crop was mostly due to the influence of the formidable Zonda wind during flowering in November. In Agrelo, the climate saw higher than usual rainfall during the growing season and lower rainfall during the maturation of the bunches which provided excellent conditions for vintage. The average temperatures were slightly higher in the peak of summer but lower in April broadening the window for picking of Malbec in optimal condition.
