✨ Technical Specifications
Finca Las Moras Black Label Syrah is a distinguished expression of San Juan's high-altitude desert terroir, where vineyards are planted at the foothills of the Andes Mountains. Nourished by pure meltwater and exposed to intense, unfiltered sunlight, the Syrah grapes develop thick skins, yielding deep color and robust tannins. The name 'Las Moras' pays homage to the blackberry trees that grow wild throughout the estate, a fitting tribute to the dark fruit profile of this wine. Crafted with careful selection, the wine undergoes aging in both French and American oak barrels, which imparts complex notes of black pepper, dark chocolate, and toasted vanilla to the naturally spicy and concentrated blackberry core.
🍾 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.
