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.
