✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the sun-drenched, high-altitude valleys of San Juan, Argentina, Finca Las Moras Reserva Tannat showcases a remarkable adaptation of this traditional southwestern French grape. In the arid, desert-like terroir of San Juan, where intense sunlight is balanced by cool mountain nights, the thick-skinned Tannat grape develops deep concentration and rich, velvety tannins. Finca Las Moras carefully tames Tannat's naturally rustic power through precise oak aging, typically spending around 12 months in French and American oak barrels. The result is a deeply colored, muscular red wine that balances intense black fruit flavors, such as blackberries and dark plums, with complex undertones of vanilla, smoke, and dark chocolate, reflecting the rugged beauty of its Andean home.
🍾 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.
