Finca Las Moras breaks traditional winemaking boundaries with 'Los Intocables' (The Untouchables), a bold and rebellious collection inspired by the Prohibition era. This distinctive Red Blend is crafted from grapes grown in the high-altitude, sun-drenched valleys of San Juan, Argentina. What truly sets this wine apart is its unique aging process: it spends several months maturing in charred North American white oak barrels previously used for aging bourbon. This unconventional technique infuses the wine with rich, decadent notes of caramel, maple, vanilla, and sweet smoke, beautifully complementing the deep, ripe dark fruit flavors of the grapes. It is a modern, daring expression that pays homage to the spirit of defiance and craftsmanship.
