Mauricio Lorca Finca Angel Malbec 2015
About the wine
Uco Valley Malbec for a steal!
- The grapes for my Finca Angel Malbec all come from old vineyards in the Uco Valley that are specifically selected to help provide the wine with structure and a great concentration of fruit.
- Every step of the winemaking process is heavily controlled, from pruning and picking to the conditions of fermentation, bottling and storage. Angel funding has helped me afford this extra level of attention to make an everyday Malbec with a great price to quality ratio.
- I have made my Finca Angel Malbec to enjoy now, but it will keep it's blueberry colour, blackcurrant and damson flavours and long, smooth and juicy finish for several years if you can wait that long!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Mauricio Lorca
- Many years ago Mauricio was all set to go to medical school and become a doctor. Then fate stepped in. A winemaking tutor came to give a talk, and he was hooked. It was a tricky conversation he had with his mum when he went home that night.
- Fast forward 20 years. After earning international acclaim making 96 Parker Point wines for some of Argentina’s world-famous brands, Mauricio’s talent is now in such demand he advises top Argentinian wineries, as well as making spectacular Argentine wines exclusively for Angels. He did Ma Lorca proud, after all.
- Thanks to Angel funding, Mauricio’s hand-crafted nectar is a million miles from supermarket roulette. He controls every step, from pruning to pressing, fermenting, bottling and storage. You can taste the pride and passion in every sip. And thanks to your investment his wines are getting better every year.
