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.
