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.
