The Intis range by Finca Las Moras pays homage to 'Inti', the ancient Incan Sun God who was revered as the giver of life and warmth. In the high-altitude desert of Argentina's San Juan province, particularly the Tulum Valley, this sun-drenched terroir is essential for ripening grapes to perfection. This Merlot-Malbec blend combines the soft, plum-like roundness of Merlot with the vibrant, dark berry fruit and gentle spice of Malbec. Crafted using modern, temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation to preserve its bright, fruit-forward character, this wine represents an approachable, everyday expression of San Juan's unique viticultural landscape, where vines are nourished by pure Andean snowmelt.
