Finca Las Moras Mora Negra

Argentinian top cuvée Eduardo Casademont, chief winemaker of Finca Las Moras, never tires of bottling one top wine after another. This time he has combined his favorite grape variety, Malbec, with the Bonarda grape to create a brilliant red wine cuvée called "Mora Negra". The grapes come from two different valleys in the San Juan wine region. The Malbec grows at an altitude of up to 1,350 meters in the mild climate of the Pedernal Valley. From there it brings with it a fabulous freshness and intense fruit. The Bonarda ripens slightly lower and at significantly hotter temperatures in the 650 meter high Tulum Valley. The grapes are picked by hand when they are very ripe. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks is followed by 15 months of aging in new barrels made of American and French oak. During this time the wine develops spicy and smoky aromas. 8 more months in the bottle also make it appear velvety and balanced. A deep purple sparkles in the glass. The scent is initially characterized by the dark berry notes that give the Mora Negra its name, but over time red fruits and hints of cooked figs also become noticeable. On top is a trace of sweet spices such as vanilla and a hint of smoke. On the palate, the Mora Negra impresses with its vital freshness, which is due to the high Malbec content of 70%. The deep fruit and inner strength of this wine are also carried by velvety tannins, which carry the elegant taste through to the long finish. An impressive experience!
