✨ wine.spec_sheet
Finca Las Moras Viognier showcases the remarkable capability of Argentina's high-altitude San Juan province to produce aromatic, vibrant white wines. Grown in the sun-drenched, arid Tulum Valley where vines are refreshed by cool evening breezes rolling down from the Andes, this Viognier thrives under intense solar radiation. Historically, San Juan was known primarily for high-yield table grapes, but pioneering efforts by estates like Las Moras proved its potential for premium viticulture. This single-varietal expression captures the exotic, aromatic nature of the grape, balancing rich stone fruit flavors of apricot and peach with a bright, refreshing acidity. It is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its delicate floral aromas of jasmine and honeysuckle, avoiding heavy oak influence to maintain a lively, approachable, and fruit-forward style.
