✨ Technical Specifications
Finca Las Moras' Dadá series takes its name and rebellious spirit from the early 20th-century Dadaist art movement, which sought to challenge conventional norms and disrupt traditional expectations. In this spirit, Dadá 2 is crafted to break the mold of traditional varietal labeling by focusing intensely on a specific sensory experience: mocha and dark chocolate. Sourced from the sun-drenched, high-altitude vineyards of San Juan, Argentina, where the vines are nourished by pure Andean meltwater, this wine is primarily crafted from Merlot. The winemakers employ a tailored aging process using medium-to-heavy toasted American oak to coax out rich, indulgent aromas of roasted coffee beans, cocoa, and dark berries, creating an approachable, velvety, and highly expressive red wine that defies classic constraints.
🍾 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.
