✨ Technical Specifications
Finca Las Moras' Extra Brut Viognier Syrah is a wonderfully unconventional sparkling wine that showcases the winery's pioneering and playful spirit in the high-altitude desert of San Juan, Argentina. Combining the highly aromatic, floral Viognier with the robust, spicy Syrah vinified with minimal skin contact, this sparkling cuv e is crafted using the Charmat method to preserve its vibrant, fresh fruit character. The intense sunlight and cool night breezes of the Tulum Valley allow the grapes to retain vital acidity while developing rich, expressive flavors. This innovative blend challenges traditional sparkling norms, offering a delightful narrative of modern Argentinian winemaking where rules are rewritten to capture the pure, sun-drenched essence of the Andes.
🍾 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.
