Finca Las Moras broke traditional winemaking boundaries with their 'Dadá' line, named after the early 20th-century Dadaist art movement that championed irreverence and the subversion of classical rules. Dadá 8 Chocolat is a sensory-driven red wine crafted in San Juan, Argentina, where the high-altitude desert climate provides intense sun exposure and cool night breezes. Rather than focusing on rigid varietal typicity, this wine is designed to showcase a luscious, chocolate-forward profile. This distinctive character is achieved by aging a blend of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon with specially selected, heavy-toast American oak, which infuses the wine with rich notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, and sweet spices, backed by soft, velvety tannins.
