✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the high-altitude desert of San Juan, Argentina, Finca Las Moras Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to the dramatic viticultural landscape of the Tulum and Zonda Valleys. Grown under intense Andean sunlight and irrigated by pure mountain meltwater, the vines produce grapes with thick skins and highly concentrated flavors. This Reserva undergoes careful oak aging, which softens the bold, structured tannins of the Cabernet Sauvignon while imparting elegant notes of vanilla, smoke, and spice. The wine captures the wild, sun-drenched spirit of San Juan, offering a rich narrative of survival and adaptation in one of the world's most extreme wine-growing regions.
🍾 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.
