✨ Technical Specifications
The Intis Malbec from Finca Las Moras pays homage to 'Inti', the ancient Incan Sun God who was revered for bringing warmth, light, and life to the high-altitude valleys of the Andes. Grown in the sun-drenched, desert-like terroir of San Juan, Argentina, where vines are nourished by pure mountain meltwater, this wine captures the vibrant and youthful spirit of the region. Crafted with modern, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel, it is designed to preserve the pure, unadulterated fruit character of the Malbec grape. The result is an incredibly approachable, soft, and juicy red wine defined by ripe red plum and cherry aromas, balanced by gentle tannins and a smooth finish.
🍾 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.
