✨ Technical Specifications
Finca Las Moras Syrah is a benchmark expression of San Juan's signature red grape. While Malbec dominates Argentina's national identity, the hot, sun-drenched Tulum Valley of San Juan found its true calling with Syrah. Planted in soils irrigated by pure Andean snowmelt, the vines endure intense solar radiation and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts, resulting in a deeply colored, highly aromatic wine. This Syrah is crafted to showcase the vibrant, spicy, and fruit-forward character of the region, typically undergoing controlled fermentation in stainless steel followed by brief aging in oak to round out its supple tannins without masking its natural blackberry and black pepper notes.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in the 1990s in San Juan, Argentina, Finca Las Moras emerged as an essential pioneer in reshaping the region's viticultural landscape across the Tulum, Zonda, and Pedernal Valleys. Now part of the Grupo Peñaflor family, the winery takes its name from the native blackberry trees that frame its high-altitude vineyards tucked against the Andes Mountains. Finca Las Moras is celebrated for its innovative and sustainable approach to winemaking, focusing heavily on unlocking the regional potential of Syrah alongside classic Argentine staples like Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and aromatic whites such as Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc. From the accessible and fruit-driven Intis line to complex, terroir-focused reserves, their wines showcase the intense sunshine, mineral-rich soils, and vibrant fruit purity characteristic of San Juan.
