Grown in the Tulum Valley, where intense solar radiation is balanced by cool alpine breezes from the Andes, this wine captures the wild essence of its terroir. Crafted for immediate enjoyment, it showcases the winery's knack for creating approachable, fruit-driven wines that do not compromise on character. The Chic and Wild moniker celebrates a contemporary, fashionable take on classic Argentine red blends, combining rich fruit flavors with a smooth, velvety texture that reflects the unique microclimates of San Juan.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in the 1990s in San Juan, Argentina, Finca Las Moras emerged as an essential pioneer in reshaping the region's viticultural landscape across the Tulum, Zonda, and Pedernal Valleys. Now part of the Grupo Peñaflor family, the winery takes its name from the native blackberry trees that frame its high-altitude vineyards tucked against the Andes Mountains. Finca Las Moras is celebrated for its innovative and sustainable approach to winemaking, focusing heavily on unlocking the regional potential of Syrah alongside classic Argentine staples like Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and aromatic whites such as Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc. From the accessible and fruit-driven Intis line to complex, terroir-focused reserves, their wines showcase the intense sunshine, mineral-rich soils, and vibrant fruit purity characteristic of San Juan.
