Hailing from the sun-drenched valleys of San Juan, Argentina, Alma Mora Cabernet Sauvignon captures the vibrant spirit of an oasis carved out of a high-altitude desert. The name 'Alma Mora' translates to 'blackberry soul,' a poetic nod to the wild mulberry trees that dot the landscape and gave Finca Las Moras its name. Nourished by pure Andean snowmelt and basking in intense, high-altitude sunlight, the grapes develop thick skins, resulting in a wine of deep color and rich concentration. This Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted to showcase the pure, expressive fruit of the region, balancing ripe blackcurrant and blackberry flavors with subtle notes of sweet spice and vanilla derived from careful oak contact. It is a modern, approachable expression of Argentine winemaking that honors the rugged beauty of its terroir.
