✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
