✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the high-altitude desert of San Juan, Argentina, this Cabernet Sauvignon captures the intense solar energy and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts of the Tulum Valley. Nourished by pure Andean meltwater, the vines thrive in stony, alluvial soils. The region's legendary Zonda wind—a hot, dry wind descending from the Andes—naturally protects the vineyards and concentrates the grapes' flavors. This wine represents a modern, fruit-forward expression of the varietal, where the typical structure of Cabernet Sauvignon is softened by the warm climate, yielding a rich profile of ripe blackcurrant, red bell pepper, and subtle sweet spice.
🍾 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.
