✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the sun-drenched, high-altitude desert of San Juan, Finca Las Moras 'Love Malbec' is crafted as a vibrant tribute to Argentina's flagship grape. Grown in alluvial soils nourished by pure Andean meltwater, the grapes benefit from intense daytime solar radiation and cool mountain nights, a diurnal shift that concentrates rich color and luscious red fruit aromas while preserving refreshing acidity. The 'Love' label reflects the winery's passionate, modern approach to winemaking, delivering a highly approachable, smooth, and medium-bodied wine. It undergoes a short aging period in oak barrels to add subtle notes of vanilla and chocolate to its core of ripe plum and cherry flavors.
🍾 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.
