✨ Technical Specifications
Finca Las Moras "Sir Noir" is a creative and rebellious take on Pinot Noir, a grape variety not traditionally associated with the sun-drenched, arid San Juan province of Argentina. By utilizing high-altitude vineyard sites where intense daytime sun is balanced by cool Andean night breezes, the winemakers successfully preserve the delicate acidity and bright fruit profile of this finicky grape. The name "Sir Noir" playfully personifies the wine as an elegant, mysterious gentleman. Crafted with minimal oak influence to keep the focus on its vibrant red berry characteristics, this wine showcases a softer, highly approachable side of Argentine red winemaking that defies regional stereotypes.
🍾 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.
