Mauricio Lorca Lirico Sueno 2016
About the wine
Top shelf treat from Mauricio Lorca
- Mauricio has really outdone himself. He scoured Argentina for the best quality grapes and discovered these beauties in the Uco Valley, one of Mendoza's top regions.
- This decadent wine is dripping in class and elegance, but packs enough power to make the biggest Bordeaux blush.
- Deep, rich and dark bramble flavours with touches of pepper, spice and chocolate make this the perfect pairing for any pork dish.

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.
