DECERO
Finca Decero is a single estate vineyard and the brainchild of Thomas Schmidheiny, a Swiss business magnate with a deep passion for wine. Schmidheiny bought a bare patch of land on a hillside in Agrelo, Mendoza after falling in love with the region during a motorcycle trip from Chile into the Andes. His new venture, “De Cero”a.k.a “from scratch” is now a flourishing vineyard which is immaculately managed by hand from vine to barrel. Decero was joined by head winemaker Juan E. Marcó in 2007, who has embraced Schmidheiny’s vision for a sustainably farmed, world class estate.

Cabernet
Decero Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic in style, with cedar graphite and cassis notes reminiscent of Bordeaux. The wine veers towards elegance and balance rather than opulence and power. Located at 3500 feet, in the renowned Mendoza appellation of Agrelo, our one-of-a-kind Remolinos Vineyard takes its name from ‘remolinos’ – whirlwinds which keep the grapes dry and in perfect condition before being handpicked each vintage.
91 Points, James Suckling
A soft and juicy cabernet with currant and raspberry aromas and flavors. Medium body. Easy finish. Delicious.

Malbec
Leafy notes on the nose blend with blackberry jam. This wine is medium-bodied and has a herbaceous character, with soft flavours of black fruit and tobacco."Located at 3500 feet, in the renowned Mendoza appellation of Agrelo, our one-of-a-kind Remolinos Vineyard takes its name from ‘Remolinos’ – whirlwinds which keep the grapes dry and in perfect condition before being handpicked each vintage. The hallmark style of Malbec from Remolinos Vineyard shows the intense violet aromatics and bright freshness and acidity which has come to define Decero Malbec. Elegant tannin complexity reflects beautifully integrated oak tannins following 14 months in French oak."
92 Points, James Suckling (previous vintage)
Cacao, fresh blackberries and blueberries with hints of violets and lemon zest. This fresh quality to the blue and black-fruit character extends to the palate, showing fluidity, coherence and drinkability. Lovely now, but will hold for a few years, too.
SANTA’S LITTLE HELPER
189.99 x [6 PACK]
Regular price $167.10 PER CASE
Each case contains 1 bottle of each:
Map Maker Pinot Noir - 2022
This Pinot Noir has lovely aromas of ripe black cherries and wild violets. In the mouth the wine has a grainy tannin structure and is intensely flavoured with sweet cherries, cedarwood and savoury characters such as dried herbs and wild game flavours. This is a sophisticated Pinot Noir with an ‘old world’ elegance and mineral lingering finish.
Lyeth Cabernet Sauvignon - 2022
The 2022 Lyeth California Cabernet Sauvignon truly expresses the character and depth of the varietal. With violets and raspberries on the nose, this wine shows strong flavors of rich, ripe plum fruit on the palate. The black fruit is seamless and elegant with fine-grain soft tannins and a long chocolate finish.
Telmo Rodriguez LZ - 2022
Dynamic and youthful red wine, boasting a fruit-laden profile redolent of the zestful nuances of cherries and raspberries. Its spiced bouquet is intricately laced with delicate lactic undertones, crafting an inviting and complex olfactory experience. Upon tasting, its intensity and purity are pronounced, delivering a revitalizing and vivacious palate. Despite its nascent stage, it exhibits a robust structure and a seamless flow that beckons one to indulge further, culminating in a subtly bitter finish that accentuates its distinctive personality.
Uggiano Chianti Classico Riserva - 2020
Ruby red colour with garnet hues. Subtle bouquet with hints of sour black cherry, wild berries and violet accompanied by vanilla’s nuances. On the palate, it’s round and full of body, with a persistent and slightly tannic aftertaste. This is a seriously elegant Chianti.
Finca Decero Remolinos Malbec - 2021
Cacao, fresh blackberries and blueberries with hints of violets and lemon zest. This fresh quality to the blue and black-fruit character extends to the palate, showing fluidity, coherence and drinkability. Lovely now, but will hold for a few years, too.
Marietta Cellars Old Vine Red - NV
A pleasantly bright and lively red wine, plump with blackberries and black cherries. Secondary notes of wild mint, dusty earth and even a hint of mocha provide an alluring, grounded experience in the glass. Comforting and irresistibly familiar, this is one of the original and best known red blends produced in California. A ‘drink now, enjoy often’ wine that can easily be taken more seriously if the moment happens to demand.

tannat
Decero Mini Ediciones are three varietal wines made in limited quantities from rare varieties: Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Tannat. These lesser-known varieties have long been respected around the world for their contribution to red wine blends. We planted these varieties, recognizing their potential to layer nuances in our halo blend ‘Decero Amano’.
The 2019 vintage was a second consecutive stellar vintage in Mendoza. It was characterised by a slightly cooler spring than usual with a welcome light rainfall levels followed by a warm, dry summer with lower than average rainfall leading to optimal health and maturation conditions at the Remolinos Vineyard. The wines of this vintage show excellent concentration of flavour, colour and aromas.
Tannat is one of our three ‘rare varieties & limited edition’ wines. Of this vintage only 1200 bottles of Tannat were made. The deep body and eponymous tannic structure of the wine combines blackberry, earthy coffee and leather notes. This wine has potential for extensive ageing.
