Finca Decero Remolinos Vineyard Mini Ediciones Tannat 2012

Finca Decero Remolinos Vineyard Mini Ediciones Tannat 2012 is an exceptional, deeply concentrated, and structural single-vineyard red wine that masterfully showcases this rare variety within Argentina’s premier terroir. Sourced from unique low-yield plots within the Remolinos Vineyard in Alto Agrelo, Mendoza, which sits at an elevation of 3,500 feet, the vines thrive in coarse, sandy loam soils. In the glass, it displays a dense, near-opaque violet-black color. The intense, highly expressive nose opens up with rich aromas of blackberries, black raspberries, and ripe dark plums, intricately layered with complex nuances of sweet dry soil, vanilla, mocha, and fragrant lavender. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, meaty, and beautifully dense, offering a remarkably smooth and rounded framework that tames Tannat’s traditionally aggressive nature. A concentrated core of dark forest fruit is framed by finely grained, tarry tannins and a balanced line of vibrant natural acidity, seamlessly integrating 16 months of maturation in French oak barrels before concluding with a long, muscular, and persistent finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with charcoal-grilled Argentine ribeye steak, slow-braised wild boar stew, rosemary-infused roasted rack of lamb, and mature cheeses like aged Gouda.
