✨ Technical Specifications
Dadá 3 by Finca Las Moras is an unconventional red blend born in the high-altitude, sun-drenched vineyards of San Juan, Argentina. Inspired by the rebellious Dadaist art movement of the early 20th century, this wine deliberately breaks traditional winemaking conventions to focus on pure, sensory expression. Crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, Dadá 3 is purposefully designed to highlight intense spicy characters. The winemakers achieve this distinctive profile by aging the wine with medium-to-heavy toasted French and American oak, which infuses the liquid with rich notes of black pepper, cinnamon, and coconut. The result is a bold, expressive, and highly approachable wine that challenges the stuffy norms of the wine world, celebrating artistic freedom and immediate sensory pleasure.
🍾 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.
