Mauricio Lorca Lirico La Consulta Single Vineyard Malbec 2013
About the wine
Mauricios big, bold, single vineyard Malbec is a thing of beauty
- I got my hands on fruit from one of the oldest and most historical vineyards in Mendoza, Argentina to bring you this plush and powerful Single Vineyard Malbec.
- Your funding allowed me to purchase the grapes from a small producer who might not survive in this competitive wine market without this kind of project.
- Malbec is what we do best in Argentina, this big bold Malbec allows the true fruit and terroir of the vineyard to shine through. A deep violet colour with sweet plum, cherry and mint notes on the nose, big body and a satisfying long finish.

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.
