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.
