✨ wine.spec_sheet
Hailing from the sun-drenched Tulum Valley in San Juan, Argentina, the Morita Malbec is a vibrant tribute to the estate's namesake—the mulberry trees ('moras') that dot the desert landscape. This wine is crafted to capture the youthful, energetic side of Argentine Malbec. Nourished by pure Andean meltwater and intense high-altitude sunlight, the grapes develop rich color and bright fruit flavors while maintaining a refreshing acidity. To preserve its lively fruit character, the wine undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks with minimal oak contact, resulting in an incredibly approachable, juicy red that celebrates the pure, unadorned essence of the grape in its native San Juan terroir.
