Hailing from the high-altitude, sun-drenched valleys of San Juan, Finca Las Moras 'Paz' Malbec is a tribute to the serene yet demanding terroir of the Andean foothills. The name 'Paz'—meaning peace—reflects the quiet majesty of the Pedernal Valley, where vines thrive at over 1,350 meters above sea level. This extreme environment, characterized by intense solar radiation and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts, forces the vines to struggle, resulting in small, highly concentrated berries. Aged for 15 months in French oak barrels, this wine showcases the classic signature of San Juan Malbec: deep violet hues, intense aromas of ripe plums and dark cherries, and a distinct mineral backbone derived from the region's limestone-rich soils.
