✨ 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 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.
