✨ Technical Specifications
Finca Las Moras, located in the rugged, sun-drenched valleys of San Juan, Argentina, crafts the 'Los Intocables' White Chardonnay as a bold rebellion against traditional winemaking. The name itself evokes the defiant spirit of the Prohibition era, a theme reflected in its unique production method: the wine is aged in charred American oak barrels previously used for aging bourbon. This unconventional treatment imparts deep, seductive aromas of caramel, vanilla, and toasted coconut to the naturally rich, tropical fruit profile of Chardonnay grown in high-altitude, desert-like conditions. The result is a voluptuous, full-bodied white wine that seamlessly bridges the gap between classic Argentine fruit intensity and the sweet, smoky complexity of American whiskey heritage.
🍾 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.
