✨ Technical Specifications
Finca Las Moras Black Label Cabernet Cabernet is a sophisticated Argentine red that celebrates the union of two noble varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Grown in the high-altitude, desert-like terroir of the Pedernal Valley in San Juan, situated at approximately 1,350 meters above sea level, the vines are exposed to intense sunlight and dramatic day-night temperature swings. This unique climate yields grapes with thick skins, concentrated flavors, and excellent natural acidity. The wine is traditionally aged in French and American oak barrels, which imparts elegant structure, round tannins, and complex layers of blackcurrant, graphite, sweet spices, and a touch of eucalyptus. It stands as a testament to San Juan's capability to produce premium, structured reds beyond the traditional Malbec.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1993 under the aegis of Grupo Peñaflor, Finca Las Moras emerged as a transformative force in the viticultural landscape of San Juan, Argentina. Taking its name from the mulberry trees (moras) framing its parcels, the estate encompasses over 1,100 hectares distributed across three distinct sub-regions: the warm alluvial Tulum Valley, intermediate Zonda Valley, and the high-altitude frontier of the Pedernal Valley, situated at 1,350 to 1,400 meters above sea level. In Pedernal, cooling Andean breezes, significant diurnal temperature variation, and calcareous, gravel-strewn soils yield fruit marked by brisk natural acidity and exceptional aromatic tension. Led viticulturally by long-tenured chief winemaker Eduardo Casademont, the estate balances wide commercial reach with artisanal experimentation. While renowned for pioneering premium Syrah and Malbec, Finca Las Moras crafts distinctive white wines ranging from crisp, high-elevation Black Label Sauvignon Blanc and organic Chardonnay to traditional Pedro Ximénez aged biologically under flor, such as Pedrito.
