Finca Las Moras Bonarda celebrates Argentina's second most planted red grape, which has stepped out of the shadow of Malbec to claim its own spotlight. Grown in the sun-drenched, high-altitude desert of the San Juan province, primarily within the Tulum Valley, these vines benefit from intense daily sunlight and cool mountain nights. Historically, Bonarda was brought to Argentina by European immigrants and was long used as a blending grape. Today, Finca Las Moras crafts it as a single-varietal showcase of the region's unique terroir. The winemaking focus is on preserving the grape's natural, juicy fruit character, utilizing temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation followed by minimal oak contact to maintain a fresh, vibrant profile filled with notes of dark berries and soft tannins.
