Finca Las Moras's Black Label Sauvignon Blanc showcases the surprising capability of San Juan's high-altitude desert valleys to produce crisp, vibrant white wines. Grown in vineyards refreshed by cold Andean night breezes and intense daytime sun, the grapes develop a brilliant balance of ripe tropical fruit aromas and zesty acidity. The Black Label line represents the winery's dedication to selecting premium parcels that express the purity of the terroir. Historically, San Juan was overlooked for premium whites, but pioneering efforts by producers like Las Moras proved that careful canopy management and altitude could yield Sauvignon Blanc with remarkable freshness, mineral tension, and aromatic complexity.
