✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the sun-drenched, high-altitude desert of San Juan, Argentina, Alma Mora Select Reserve Malbec captures the wild spirit of an oasis framed by the Andes. The name 'Alma Mora' translates to the 'Soul of the Blackberry,' paying homage to the abundant mulberry trees that historically lined the vineyards of the region. This wine is crafted from carefully selected Malbec grapes grown in soils of alluvial origin, where intense solar radiation and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts yield thick-skinned berries rich in color and polyphenols. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging in French and American oak barrels, which weaves sweet notes of vanilla, toasted cocoa, and soft baking spices into the bold, dark fruit core of ripe plums and blackberries.
🍾 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.
