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.
