✨ Technical Specifications
Finca Las Moras's 'Love' Cabernet Sauvignon is a vibrant tribute to passion, art, and the expressive potential of San Juan's high-altitude desert terroir. Sourced from vineyards in the Tulum Valley, where intense solar radiation and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts allow the grapes to achieve optimal ripeness while retaining essential acidity, this wine captures the essence of modern Argentine winemaking. The wine undergoes a careful fermentation process followed by short aging in oak barrels to impart subtle notes of vanilla and sweet spice without overpowering the bright red fruit profile. The 'Love' series, recognizable by its artistic heart-themed label, represents an approachable, fruit-forward style designed to bring people together, embodying the warmth and hospitality of the San Juan region.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1993 under the aegis of Grupo Peñaflor, Finca Las Moras emerged as a transformative force in the viticultural landscape of San Juan, Argentina. Taking its name from the mulberry trees (moras) framing its parcels, the estate encompasses over 1,100 hectares distributed across three distinct sub-regions: the warm alluvial Tulum Valley, intermediate Zonda Valley, and the high-altitude frontier of the Pedernal Valley, situated at 1,350 to 1,400 meters above sea level. In Pedernal, cooling Andean breezes, significant diurnal temperature variation, and calcareous, gravel-strewn soils yield fruit marked by brisk natural acidity and exceptional aromatic tension. Led viticulturally by long-tenured chief winemaker Eduardo Casademont, the estate balances wide commercial reach with artisanal experimentation. While renowned for pioneering premium Syrah and Malbec, Finca Las Moras crafts distinctive white wines ranging from crisp, high-elevation Black Label Sauvignon Blanc and organic Chardonnay to traditional Pedro Ximénez aged biologically under flor, such as Pedrito.
