✨ Technical Specifications
Finca Las Moras Pinot Grigio represents a vibrant, modern expression of this classic European grape adapted to the high-altitude desert of San Juan, Argentina. Cultivated in the Tulum Valley, where intense sunlight is balanced by cool mountain nights, the grapes develop a bright acidity and intense aromatic profile. The name 'Las Moras' refers to the blackberry trees scattered throughout the vineyards, a nod to the natural oasis created in this arid landscape. Fermented entirely in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures to preserve its fresh fruit character, this wine showcases the innovative spirit of San Juan's winemaking, offering a tropical and citrus-forward alternative to traditional Old World Pinot Grigio.
🍾 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.
