✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the sun-drenched, high-altitude desert of San Juan, Argentina, the Alma Mora Select Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon captures the rugged elegance of the Tulum Valley. The name 'Mora' pays homage to the abundant mulberry trees that dot this oasis, framing a terroir defined by intense solar radiation and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts. Crafted from carefully selected grapes, this wine undergoes traditional fermentation followed by aging in oak barrels. This process tempers the bold, structured tannins of the Cabernet Sauvignon, weaving rich notes of ripe blackberries, cassis, and black pepper with subtle undertones of vanilla, chocolate, and toasted oak, reflecting the pioneering spirit of San Juan winemaking.
🍾 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.
