✨ Technical Specifications
Named in homage to the Dadaist artistic movement of the early 20th century, which championed the subversion of traditional aesthetic norms, Dadá 391 Cabernet by Finca Las Moras is crafted to defy conventional wine expectations. Produced in the high-altitude, sun-drenched desert terroir of San Juan, Argentina, this wine is grown in sandy loam soils nourished by pure Andean meltwater. The winemaking process focuses on immediate accessibility and sensory expression, utilizing medium-toasted American oak to impart sweet, spicy, and chocolatey undertones to the bold, dark fruit character of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape. It represents a playful, rule-breaking approach to Argentine viticulture, designed to appeal to a new generation of wine lovers.
🍾 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.
