✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the sun-drenched valleys of San Juan, Argentina, the Intis range pays homage to Inti, the ancient Incan sun god who blesses these high-altitude vineyards with intense, ripening light. This unique red blend marries Bonarda, a beloved Argentine staple known for its juicy fruit character, with Greco Nero, an Italian variety that adds a touch of rustic complexity and deep color. Sourced from vineyards nourished by pure Andean meltwater, the wine is crafted in an approachable, fruit-forward style. It undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel to preserve its vibrant primary fruit aromas, resulting in a smooth, easy-drinking red that captures the warm, pioneering spirit of San Juan winemaking.
🍾 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.
