Details
Wow! Lots to unpack in this Malbec, with aromas of wild mountainside herbs, red cherries and black plums, there’s leather and saddle too and a subtle farmyard scent overlaying spice, floral notes, and vanilla from oak. On the palate, it’s savoury and dry, with a sour crunch from high acidity, and firm tannins. It’s medium-bodied but powerful enough to convince you otherwise!

The brand of Finca Las Moras is responsible for a wide range of wines from across Argentina; with 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 has rapidly become one of the leading producers of high-quality wines in the region. Today, the company owns over 1,125 hectares of vineyards, and from these 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
An organic Malbec from one of our favourite Argentinian wineries is always going to be a treat, and this beautiful bottle is everything we hoped it would be and more. As for food pairing, Malbec is reliably fantastic with game meats - including kangaroo! - and with leaner cuts of beef. Leg of lamb with olives and herbs will be divine, and it’s great with smoky eggplant dishes, homemade burgers, pork with prunes, and whole roast poultry too.
