✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the sun-drenched Tulum Valley in San Juan, Argentina, Finca Las Moras Sauvignon Blanc is a testament to the magic of high-altitude desert viticulture. Here, at the foothills of the majestic Andes, the vines are bathed in intense, brilliant sunlight by day and cooled by crisp mountain drafts by night. This dramatic diurnal temperature swing allows the Sauvignon Blanc grapes to develop intense aromatic profiles while retaining a bracing, mouth-watering acidity. Nourished by pure, mineral-rich Andean meltwater flowing through alluvial soils, the grapes are harvested early in the morning to preserve their delicate, zesty character. The resulting wine is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to maintain its pure, fruit-forward identity, offering a vibrant expression of San Juan's unique terroir that is both refreshing and highly approachable.
🍾 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.
