Alma Mora Red Blends
Argentine estate red blend, soft tannins, four months in oak.
The story behind Alma Mora
Alma Mora comes out of San Juan, Argentina, not Mendoza, and that matters. The grapes grow in the Tulum and Zonda valleys at roughly 2,130 feet, irrigated by San Juan River meltwater and worked under more than 300 days of sun a year. Finca Las Moras, founded in 1993 and part of Grupo Peñaflor, makes it, and Australian viticulturist Richard Smart helped lay out the vineyards.
The red blend is 100% estate fruit, hand harvested and destemmed, fermented about 10 days, then aged 4 months in new American oak. That short rest in new wood is the whole trick: a little vanilla, no heaviness. We have poured this bottle for years because it drinks like something twice the price.

Which Alma Mora is right for you?
Every Alma Mora bottle we stock is $9.99. Not a tier, not a range, one price across the red blend, the Malbec and the Sauvignon Blanc. For a wine grown on Andean meltwater, hand harvested, and given 4 months in new American oak, that number is hard to argue with. You can buy Alma Mora online and pick it up free at the curb in Commack, or take free local delivery on orders over $250. Same-day or next-day delivery runs across Nassau and Suffolk.
Soft tannins and vanilla handle a grilled skirt steak without a decant.
Single varietal Malbec at $9.99, built for a house pour.

Serve it at 60 to 64F. The tannins are soft enough that decanting buys you nothing.
