✨ Technical Specifications
Finca Las Moras breaks traditional winemaking boundaries with 'Los Intocables' (The Untouchables), a bold range inspired by the Prohibition era. This innovative Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from grapes grown in the high-altitude, sun-drenched desert terroir of San Juan, Argentina. What sets this wine apart is its unique aging process: it spends 12 months maturing in charred North American white oak barrels previously used for aging bourbon. This distinctive method infuses the robust, dark-fruit character of the Cabernet Sauvignon with seductive, sweet notes of caramel, vanilla, maple, and a signature smoky finish, creating a remarkably smooth and full-bodied palate.
🍾 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.
