Mauricio Lorca Lirico Corte de los Arcangeles 2010
About the wine
- Our Archangels are a clever lot. This is their choice of three big bold grapes, blended with Mauricio's added love and know-how.
- Intense, dark and plummy fruit pairs up perfectly with a silky, smoky finish that'll leave you licking your lips between sips. Pure velvet on the tongue and a belly-warming hug all in one.
- Your Angel funding made this wine possible, so it's only right that you pay what it's worth - and not a penny more. Perfect with a slab of rare steak or a mighty fine sofa-slurper, any day of the week

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.
