✨ Technical Specifications
Finca Las Moras's 'Paz' range represents a harmonious search for balance and serenity, born from the rugged, high-altitude deserts of San Juan. This Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc blend is sourced primarily from the stony, limestone-rich soils of the Pedernal Valley, situated at over 1,300 meters above sea level. Here, the intense Andean sun and cool mountain nights slow down grape ripening, allowing the development of deep color, structured tannins, and intense aromatic complexity. The Cabernet Sauvignon provides a robust backbone of blackcurrant and structured tannins, while the Cabernet Franc infuses the blend with elegant notes of red berries, black pepper, and subtle herbaceous complexity. Aged in French oak barrels, this wine beautifully marries the wild, untamed spirit of San Juan's valleys with refined, classical structure.
🍾 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.
