Finca Las Moras's Alma Mora Chardonnay captures the vibrant, sun-drenched spirit of San Juan, Argentina. Grown in the high-altitude desert of the Tulum Valley, where the vines are nourished by pure meltwater from the Andes and bathed in intense, high-altitude sunlight, this Chardonnay showcases a remarkably expressive fruit profile. The name Alma Mora, meaning Blackberry Soul, pays homage to the abundant blackberry bushes that grow wild around the vineyards, symbolizing the winery's deep connection to its rugged, natural landscape. Crafted in a fresh, modern style, the winemaking focuses on preserving the grape's natural acidity and bright tropical fruit flavors, resulting in an approachable, elegant white wine that reflects the unique microclimate of San Juan.
