✨ wine.spec_sheet
Finca Las Moras, located in the high-altitude oasis of San Juan, Argentina, crafts the 'Morita' line as an approachable, vibrant expression of the region's unique desert terroir. The name 'Morita', meaning 'little blackberry', pays homage to the abundant mulberry trees that grow throughout the San Juan valleys and gave the winery its name. This Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from vineyards irrigated by pure Andean snowmelt, where intense solar radiation and cool night breezes yield grapes with concentrated fruit flavors and balanced acidity. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve its bright, primary fruit character, this wine offers a fresh, modern take on Argentine Cabernet Sauvignon, emphasizing ripe red berries, subtle black pepper, and soft, accessible tannins.
