β¨ Technical Specifications
Finca Las Moras Organico Chardonnay is a pure expression of San Juan's high-altitude desert terroir, crafted from certified organic vineyards where the dry climate and constant Andean breezes naturally protect the vines. The name 'Las Moras' pays homage to the mulberry trees scattered throughout the estate, which stand as symbols of the region's fertile oasis. This Chardonnay is fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to preserve the vibrant, unadulterated fruit character of the grape. It reflects a modern, eco-conscious approach to Argentine winemaking, delivering a clean, fruit-forward profile that captures the intense sunlight and pure meltwater of the Tulum Valley.
πΎ About the Producer
Established in 1993 under the aegis of Grupo PeΓ±aflor, 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 XimΓ©nez aged biologically under flor, such as Pedrito.
