✨ Technical Specifications
Finca Las Moras' Black Label Bonarda is a testament to the resurgence of Argentina's second most planted red grape variety, which was historically relegated to blending. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards in the San Juan province, where intense solar radiation and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts allow the late-ripening Bonarda grape to achieve perfect phenolic maturity. The wine is typically aged in French and American oak barrels, which softens its naturally rustic tannins and imparts complex notes of chocolate and spice to its core of lush blackberry and plum fruit. This wine represents a modern, premium expression of a grape deeply rooted in Argentine viticultural history, brought over by Italian immigrants in the late 19th century.
🍾 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.
