About the Wine

In 2003, the visionary Enrique Foster invited Mauricio Lorca to join him on an extraordinary journey, guided by their shared love for Malbec. Mauricio Lorca, a brilliant winemaker, took the reins of production, and the rest is history. Under their watchful eyes, the winery in Perdriel, Luján de Cuyo, has become a hub of innovation, embracing new winemaking techniques and sustainable practices.

As one steps into Mauricio Lorca's winery in Perdriel, they are greeted by lush Malbec vines, a testament to the deep-rooted passion for this noble grape. The winery itself blends modern aesthetics with classical charm, surrounded by enchanting gardens designed by a landscape artist. The backdrop? The majestic Andes Mountain range, a paradise on earth.

The winery holds ISO 22.000 certification for its production process. Their organic wines adhere to the highest organic production standards, and their sustainability efforts have earned recognition both nationally and internationally.

Now, the Rockstar behind the wines: Mauricio Lorca, a true winemaking prodigy, has an illustrious career that began under the tutelage of legendary figures like Nicolas Catena, Paul Hobbs, and José Galante (aka the father of modern enology in Argentina). At just 24 years old, he became the head winemaker of Luigi Bosca. His global adventures in the world's finest vineyards reinforced his belief in Mendoza's potential to create world-class wines.

Aging: 18 months in French oak barrels. 

Tasting Notes: 100% Malbec.

Reviews

Vibrant blue fruit, perfumed violets and some roasted spices. Full-bodied with genuine fruit that is sweet, but not overly generous. Lots of spice on the mid-palate, which is held together by a dense, fine-tannin framework. Still youthful, indicating outstanding potential ahead. Drink or hold. ~93 James Suckling

From Finca Los Altepes, in the Los Arboles area, in the Uco Valley, at about 1,250 meters above sea level, and aged for 18 months in barrels, here is a 100% Malbec in a slightly older style school, with a very severe structure, firm tannins and great body; the notes of the barrel well mixed with the fruity aromas of dried fruits and flowers. A wine to keep in the bottle for the next five years. ~93 Descorchados

A Malbec from Vista Flores, Uco Valley that spent 18 months aging in French barrels. Purple in hue, it possesses a nose of kirsch, clear woody notes, red fruit, herbs and sweet spices. Concentrated but not tight, it is juicy with good freshness and active tannins that lend depth in lip-smackingly good fashion. ~91 Vinous Media
