Finca Las Moras's Late Harvest Viognier is a luscious testament to the sun-drenched, high-altitude desert of San Juan, Argentina. In this arid region, the dry Zonda wind and intense Andean sunshine naturally dehydrate the Viognier grapes on the vine, concentrating their natural sugars, acidity, and aromatic compounds. This sweet nectar captures the essence of the Tulum Valley, where sandy-loam soils and extreme diurnal temperature shifts yield a dessert wine of remarkable balance. Historically, San Juan has been a cradle of Argentine viticulture, and this wine showcases a modern, expressive take on the classic Rhône variety, transforming it into a rich, golden elixir filled with notes of dried apricots, honey, and orange blossom.
