✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
