✨ Technical Specifications
Finca Las Moras' 'Pedrito' is a charming, sweet white wine that celebrates the viticultural heritage of San Juan, Argentina. The wine's name is an affectionate nod to Pedro Giménez, a historic grape variety deeply rooted in Argentine winemaking tradition since the colonial era. Crafted from vineyards in the Tulum Valley, where intense desert sunshine is balanced by cool Andean night breezes, this wine benefits from a unique microclimate that coaxes out intense aromatics. To preserve its natural sweetness and vibrant fruit profile, the fermentation in stainless steel is carefully arrested. This results in a light, luscious, and highly approachable style that captures the joyful, social spirit of Argentine gatherings.
🍾 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.
