✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the sun-drenched valleys of San Juan, Argentina, Finca Las Moras Malbec is a vibrant expression of the region's unique high-altitude desert terroir. The winery takes its name from the blackberry trees ('moreras') that dot the estate, a nod to the lush, dark fruit flavors that define this wine. Nourished by pure meltwater from the Andes and shaped by dramatic diurnal temperature shifts, the grapes develop thick skins rich in color and soft tannins. This Malbec is crafted in an approachable, fruit-forward style, showcasing the softer, highly aromatic side of San Juan's terroir, which historically served as a vital oasis along the ancient trade routes crossing the Andes.
🍾 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.
