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.
