Producer Information: Finca Decero
Finca Decero is rooted in the Agrelo subregion of Mendoza, Argentina, where its single-vineyard estate sits at 1,050 meters above sea level on the alluvial soils of the Andes foothills. Established in 2000 by Swiss entrepreneur Thomas Schmidheiny, Finca Decero was founded with a vision to craft wines that express both the purity and elegance of their high-altitude terroir. The winery’s philosophy centers on a “from scratch” approach—meticulous handcrafting at every stage from vineyard to bottle, with sustainable practices and minimal intervention guiding their process. While Malbec is their flagship varietal, celebrated for its balance and finesse unique to Agrelo’s microclimate, Finca Decero also produces expressive Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot that highlight Mendoza’s capacity for Bordeaux varieties. Their Amano blend stands out as a testament to careful selection and blending across parcels within their Remolinos Vineyard. Finca Decero focuses exclusively on still wines from estate-grown fruit, distinguishing itself within Mendoza as a producer dedicated solely to quality-driven red wines rather than diversifying into spirits or white varietals.

Malbec is a popular red wine grape variety known for its rich, full-bodied character and deep flavors. Originating from France, particularly in the Cahors region, it has gained immense popularity in Argentina’s Mendoza region, where it thrives in the unique terroir. This wine typically showcases flavor notes of dark fruits like blackberry and plum, complemented by hints of chocolate, tobacco, and leather.
The aromatic profile of Malbec includes enticing scents of black cherry, violet, cocoa, and spice. Its texture is characterized by smooth tannins and a velvety mouthfeel that enhances its appeal. Malbec pairs beautifully with grilled meats such as steak and barbecued dishes, making it an excellent choice for casual dining or special occasions. Winemaking techniques often involve oak aging in French or American barrels to add complexity to the wine’s flavor profile.
