✨ wine.spec_sheet
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.
