VINTAGE
The 2022 Mendoza vintage faced a cool, dry spring, frosts, and rain, but ultimately produced high-quality wines. Red wines showed good concentration, balanced acidity, and lower alcohol levels, with excellent aging potential. However, white wines were impacted by rain during harvest, resulting in a more dilute vintage. Regional variations influenced quality, with the Uco Valley experiencing less rain and cooler temperatures in areas like Gualtallary, while the East saw more rainfall. Despite setbacks, reds from this vintage are particularly promising.

Wine Enthusiast - May 1, 2026 "Sweet berry aromas fill the nose with ripe, inviting fruit. The soft palate holds rich blackberry flavors and hints of dried herbs, supported by moderate acidity and firm tannins that provide structure and balance. An enjoyable Syrah from Luján de Cuyo."

Other Wines by this Producer
The Owl & The Dust Devil Malbec
Agrelo, Mendoza, Argentina
This wine is a single varietal Malbec which exhibits richness of fruit in the mid palate whilst maintaining an overall elegance in style which is the hallmark of its origin, the high altitude Remolinos Vineyard.
Mini Ediciones Cabernet Franc
Agrelo, Mendoza, Argentina
Finca Decero's Mini Ediciones Cabernet Franc is one of the winery's three "rare varieties & limited edition" wines. The wine shows nuances of bell pepper, graphite and plum notes with fresh aromatics and taunt acidity resulting in a well-structured Cabernet Franc with great potential for aging.
Malbec
A core intensity of red fruit flavors and lifted violet aromas remain the signature of Malbec from the estate’s Remolinos Vineyard. This is exquisitely balanced by freshness of acidity and an elegant integration of French oak which adds complexity to the rich mid palate.
Cabernet Sauvignon
Agrelo is recognized for red varieties and while 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. The wine has a beautiful, full-bodied structure that comes across effortlessly due to the hallmark Decero refinement.
Mini Ediciones Petit Verdot
As the name suggests, Mini Ediciones are highly limited parcels of wine. From lesser known varieties, these wines are wholly expressive of the Remolinos Vineyard and represent an opportunity to taste a variety rarely seen in a pure form. In 2006, in recognition of its unique potential from the coarse, low vigor soils of our Remolinos Vineyard, the winery first selected a few exceptional barrels of wine to make a well-deserved Decero Mini Ediciones Petit Verdot.
Amano
Decero Amano takes its name from the “Amano” or “by hand” approach. As the pinnacle of the winery's achievements each vintage, Decero Amano is a blend of the most distinctive parcels from the Remolinos Vineyard. The wine is a blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Tannat: violet aromas emanate from the Malbec, red fruit flavors and structure of the Cabernet gives excellent length, while the jasmine perfumed Petit Verdot brings firm tannins as does the Tannat, which adds even more textural complexity.
The Owl & The Dust Devil Icon Blend
The Owl & The Dust Devil Icon Blend represents the wild side of Finca Decero, an exceptionally expressive and intense red blend that has as its core some of the specialties of Finca Decero. Its impact on the palate is matched by its groundbreaking Virtual Reality packaging.
