✨ Technical Specifications
The 'Demencial' line from Finca Las Moras is born from the wild, extreme high-altitude terroirs of San Juan, particularly the Pedernal Valley. The name 'Demencial' (meaning 'demented' or 'insane' in Spanish) pays homage to the seemingly crazy endeavor of cultivating vines in such a harsh, remote, and rocky desert landscape, where thermal amplitude is extreme and the elements are unforgiving. This Blanc de Blancs is a testament to that daring spirit, combining the structure of Chardonnay, the aromatic intensity of Sauvignon Blanc, and the fresh texture of Pinot Gris. Fermented primarily in stainless steel to preserve its electric acidity and intense mineral core, the wine captures the pure, sun-drenched alpine air and meltwater-nourished soils of the Andes.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in the 1990s in San Juan, Argentina, Finca Las Moras emerged as an essential pioneer in reshaping the region's viticultural landscape across the Tulum, Zonda, and Pedernal Valleys. Now part of the Grupo Peñaflor family, the winery takes its name from the native blackberry trees that frame its high-altitude vineyards tucked against the Andes Mountains. Finca Las Moras is celebrated for its innovative and sustainable approach to winemaking, focusing heavily on unlocking the regional potential of Syrah alongside classic Argentine staples like Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and aromatic whites such as Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc. From the accessible and fruit-driven Intis line to complex, terroir-focused reserves, their wines showcase the intense sunshine, mineral-rich soils, and vibrant fruit purity characteristic of San Juan.
