✨ Technical Specifications
Finca Las Moras's Black Label Chardonnay showcases the dramatic potential of San Juan's high-altitude desert terroirs. Grown in vineyards kissed by intense Andean sunlight and irrigated by pure mountain snowmelt, the grapes develop concentrated tropical fruit flavors balanced by a vibrant natural acidity. The Black Label line represents a selection of the estate's finest parcels. To craft this elegant white, the juice undergoes fermentation and subsequent aging in French oak barrels, which imparts a sophisticated complexity, creamy texture, and delicate notes of vanilla and toasted brioche. This wine stands as a testament to San Juan's ability to produce premium, structured whites that challenge the traditional dominance of Mendoza.
🍾 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.
