About the wine
Discovered by Archangels as the stand-out of 100's tasted
- Discovered by Archangels at a recent trade tasting, Mauricio's Gran Guarda blend stood head and shoulders above 100's of wines tasted
- Warming, spicy Syrah? Check. Big, bold Malbec? Check. Luscious, earthy Cab? Check. Only a talented conductor like Mauricio gets three great grapes singing in perfect harmony like this.
- The folk at Decanter awarded this a shiny Bronze medal at the prestigious Decanter Awards - so grab a bottle and make your own mind up

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.
