Details
Young, fresh and fruit driven, this is a softer than usual Malbec, with a ripe red and dark fruit flavours and an elegant touch of smoke and vanilla. Ripe plummy characters with some floral complexity that hold together nicely with plush, almost seamless tannins. Very, very slinky, drinkable Malbec!

The wine brand of Finca Las Moras is responsible for a wide range of wines from across Argentina - many different varieties, vineyards and styles. A really diverse collection of wines, with one thing in common - a desire to produce high quality wines that bear the stamp not only of Argentina, but of the cool-climate region of San Juan. Established in 1993, and utilising the incredible knowledge of Aussie viticultural legend Richard Smart, Finca Las Moras rapidly became one of the leading producers of high-quality wines in the region. Today, the company owns over 1,125 hectares of vineyards! From this they produce a number of different labels. For Finca Las Moras, the focus is on capturing the vivid, fruity taste of the easy drinking wines of San Juan. Sure, the vineyards are managed sustainably, and everything is top drawer, but the wines have no pretension or artifice. It's all about the end product, not the airs and graces behind the scenes. Which just so happens to be the kind of wines we love.

Pairing guide
Who doesn’t love a great bottle of Malbec? This beautiful wine really captures the amazing depth that this grape varietal has to offer, and it’s the ideal bottle for taking along to a barbecue and pairing with big hunks of chargrilled beef, lamb, pork, or duck. Strong cheeses like gorgonzola will work beautifully here, and it’s also going to be delicious with homemade burgers, lamb and mint combos, and with vegetarian dishes of stuffed tomatoes or capsicums, wild rice, and roasted mushrooms.
