Drew's Tasting Note

One of the most delicious Malbecs I have tasted. Rich dark chocolate and black fruits on the nose. An initial explosion of blackberry, plum and black cherry on the palate, which combines with spicy liquorice and dark chocolate and ends with a long, silky finish.

Producer: Mauricio Lorca  |  Vintage: 2017  |  From: Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina  |  Alcohol: 14.0%  |  Style: full-bodied red, still, vegan  |  Grape: Malbec

2019 vintage, 89 points, Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate, November 2022

The Winery

Many years ago, Mauricio Lorca was once a prospective medical student, but when he discovered oenology, there was no turning back. Mauricio’s winemaking career has soared over the years that followed, working in many wineries throughout Argentina. His proven dedication and talent have meant that he now advises the top wineries in Argentina. In 2002, Mauricio established his winery near Mendoza. Mauricio pours his heart and soul into winemaking. A score of 96 points from wine critic Robert Parker brought Mauricio’s talent international acclaim. Drew has known Mauricio Lorca for 20 years and has always admired his winemaking.
