✨ Technical Specifications
Dadá 1 by Finca Las Moras is an unconventional, sensory-focused red blend from San Juan, Argentina, designed to challenge traditional wine-drinking norms. Inspired by the rebellious Dadaist art movement of the early 20th century, this wine prioritizes immediate pleasure and bold flavors over rigid classical structures. Crafted from a blend of Bonarda and Malbec grown in the sun-drenched, high-altitude desert of the Tulum Valley, it undergoes a unique aging process with medium-to-heavy toast American oak. This technique imparts its signature, highly expressive aromas of rich vanilla, toasted coconut, and sweet red fruits, creating a smooth, velvety, and slightly sweet finish that has captured a global audience seeking an approachable, fruit-forward style.
🍾 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.
