✨ Technical Specifications
The PAZ Syrah by Finca Las Moras is a profound expression of San Juan's high-altitude desert terroir, where the name 'Paz' (meaning peace) reflects the ultimate harmony achieved between the rugged Andean elements and the vine. Grown in the stony soils of the Tulum and Zonda Valleys, the grapes are subjected to intense solar radiation and the dry, warm Zonda wind, which coaxes out thick skins rich in polyphenols. This wine is typically aged for 12 to 15 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels, resulting in a deeply concentrated, complex red. It weaves a narrative of dark fruit, balsamic notes, and the signature black pepper spice that has made San Juan Argentina's premier region for world-class Syrah.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in the 1990s in San Juan, Argentina, Finca Las Moras emerged as an essential pioneer in reshaping the region's viticultural landscape across the Tulum, Zonda, and Pedernal Valleys. Now part of the Grupo Peñaflor family, the winery takes its name from the native blackberry trees that frame its high-altitude vineyards tucked against the Andes Mountains. Finca Las Moras is celebrated for its innovative and sustainable approach to winemaking, focusing heavily on unlocking the regional potential of Syrah alongside classic Argentine staples like Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and aromatic whites such as Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc. From the accessible and fruit-driven Intis line to complex, terroir-focused reserves, their wines showcase the intense sunshine, mineral-rich soils, and vibrant fruit purity characteristic of San Juan.
