✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the sun-drenched, high-altitude desert of Argentina's San Juan province, the Finca Las Moras Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon Syrah is a masterful expression of two powerhouse varieties. In this rugged terrain, where the fierce Zonda wind sweeps across the valleys and vines are nourished by pure Andean snowmelt, Cabernet Sauvignon provides a firm, structured backbone of dark cassis and structured tannins, while Syrah injects a fleshy, voluptuous texture filled with black pepper, plum, and exotic spices. Aged in oak barrels to round out its robust character, this wine captures the wild, untamed spirit of the San Juan landscape, offering a harmonious balance of fruit intensity and savory complexity that has defined the region's modern viticultural renaissance.
🍾 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.
