Mauricio Lorca Finca Los Altepes Malbec 2016
About the wine
Vivid and joyous Malbec from the best site in Argentina
- By day, Mauricio still teaches others to make their wine taste amazing. But thanks to Angel funding, he’s gradually ramping up production in his small no-frills winery.
- As a thank you for turning his hobby into a career, he saves the plumpest, juiciest grapes from his best vineyards to make absolutely stonking wine just for you.
- This wine is deliciously vibrant and concentrated. Rich dark plums, blackberries and bramble flavours all tied together with a warming toasty, oaky spice.

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.
