✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
