Alma Mora, translating to 'Blackberry Soul,' pays homage to the abundant wild mulberry trees that dot the San Juan landscape and gave the winery its name. This Malbec captures the essence of the region's high-altitude desert terroir, where intense Andean sunshine and cool night breezes craft grapes of remarkable concentration and balance. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel and lightly aged with oak, it showcases a vibrant, fruit-forward profile defined by ripe plums, dark cherries, and a subtle touch of sweet spice, reflecting the modern, approachable winemaking spirit of San Juan.
