✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the sun-drenched, high-altitude valleys of San Juan, Argentina, the Alma Mora Select Reserve Blend by Finca Las Moras is a tribute to the wild blackberry bushes ('moras') that thrive near the vineyards. This wine captures the intense solar radiation and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts of the Tulum and Zonda Valleys. Crafted as a harmonious red blend, it typically marries the plush, dark-fruit characteristics of Malbec with the structural depth of Cabernet Sauvignon and a touch of spicy Syrah. The wine undergoes careful oak aging, which imparts subtle notes of vanilla, chocolate, and toasted wood, smoothing out the tannins while preserving the vibrant, ripe fruit core that defines San Juan's unique desert terroir.
🍾 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.
