✨ Technical Specifications
Finca Las Moras Gran Syrah is a benchmark expression of San Juan's viticultural prowess, specifically celebrating the Syrah grape which thrives in this high-altitude desert. This flagship bottling is a masterclass in blending terroirs, sourcing fruit from three distinct valleys of San Juan: the Tulum Valley, which lends lush, ripe fruit and soft tannins; the Zonda Valley, contributing robust structure and exotic spice; and the high-altitude Pedernal Valley, which infuses the wine with deep color, vibrant acidity, and refined elegance. Aged for approximately 15 to 18 months in a combination of new French and American oak barrels, this wine represents a harmonious dialogue between the intense Andean sun and the cooling mountain nights, resulting in a complex, full-bodied red with remarkable depth.
🍾 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.
