✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the high-altitude desert of San Juan, Argentina, the Alma Mora Pinot Grigio by Finca Las Moras captures the vibrant, sun-drenched spirit of the region. The name Alma Mora translates to Soul of the Blackberry, paying homage to the wild mulberry trees that frame the vineyards. Grown in the Tulum Valley, where intense Andean sunlight is tempered by cool mountain nights, these grapes develop expressive tropical and citrus aromas while maintaining a crisp, refreshing acidity. Vinified entirely in stainless steel to preserve its pure fruit character, this wine represents a modern, approachable expression of Argentine white winemaking, showcasing how high-altitude terroirs can breathe new life into classic European varietals.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1993 under the aegis of Grupo Peñaflor, Finca Las Moras emerged as a transformative force in the viticultural landscape of San Juan, Argentina. Taking its name from the mulberry trees (moras) framing its parcels, the estate encompasses over 1,100 hectares distributed across three distinct sub-regions: the warm alluvial Tulum Valley, intermediate Zonda Valley, and the high-altitude frontier of the Pedernal Valley, situated at 1,350 to 1,400 meters above sea level. In Pedernal, cooling Andean breezes, significant diurnal temperature variation, and calcareous, gravel-strewn soils yield fruit marked by brisk natural acidity and exceptional aromatic tension. Led viticulturally by long-tenured chief winemaker Eduardo Casademont, the estate balances wide commercial reach with artisanal experimentation. While renowned for pioneering premium Syrah and Malbec, Finca Las Moras crafts distinctive white wines ranging from crisp, high-elevation Black Label Sauvignon Blanc and organic Chardonnay to traditional Pedro Ximénez aged biologically under flor, such as Pedrito.
