✨ Technical Specifications
Alma Mora, translating to 'Soul of the Blackberry' in reference to the historic mulberry trees that dot the San Juan landscape, captures the vibrant and youthful spirit of Finca Las Moras. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards in the San Juan province of Argentina, this Sauvignon Blanc thrives in a desert-like terroir characterized by intense sunlight and cool Andean nights. To preserve its crisp, aromatic profile, the grapes are harvested early and fermented entirely in stainless steel tanks, avoiding any oak contact. The result is a highly expressive white wine that showcases the purity of the grape with bright citrus, green apple, and herbaceous notes.
🍾 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.
