✨ Technical Specifications
Mora Negra is the flagship icon blend from Finca Las Moras, representing the pinnacle of winemaking in Argentina's high-altitude San Juan province. The wine's name, meaning 'Black Blackberry', pays tribute to the abundant wild mulberry trees that define the local landscape. Crafted from a select blend of Malbec and Bonarda grown in the stony soils of the Tulum and Pedernal Valleys, this wine benefits from intense desert sunlight and pure Andean meltwater. The grapes are hand-harvested and aged for 15 months in new French and American oak casks, creating a deeply concentrated, velvety red characterized by dark forest fruits, chocolate, and smoky spice.
🍾 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.
