β¨ Technical Specifications
Finca Las Moras's 'Love' range is an artistic tribute to passion and the expressive terroir of San Juan, Argentina. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards in the Tulum Valley, where intense desert sunshine is balanced by cool mountain nights, this Chardonnay captures a vibrant and approachable character. The grapes are carefully harvested to preserve their natural acidity and bright fruit profile. Winemaking focuses on expressing fresh tropical fruit aromas, with a portion of the blend undergoing light oak aging to impart delicate notes of vanilla and toasted brioche, resulting in a beautifully balanced, smooth, and expressive white wine.
πΎ About the Producer
Established in 1993 under the aegis of Grupo PeΓ±aflor, 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 XimΓ©nez aged biologically under flor, such as Pedrito.
