✨ Technical Specifications
Named after the ancient Incan Sun God, Inti, this vibrant white wine pays homage to the intense, life-giving sunlight that bathes the high-altitude desert of Argentina's San Juan province. Grown in the alluvial soils of the Tulum Valley, the Sauvignon Blanc grapes benefit from dramatic diurnal temperature shifts and pure Andean meltwater. Finca Las Moras crafts this wine using protective, temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation to preserve the grape's natural, zesty aromatics. The result is a bright, expressive wine that captures the modern, fruit-forward spirit of San Juan's unique terroir.
🍾 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.
