Malbrontes Malbec Torrontes 2020

Mauricio Lorca very nearly entered the world of medecine rather than winemaking and was already studying to become a doctor when he determined on a drastic change of career. He started out learning his art at the prestigious Catena Zapata winery, followed by stints at Michel Torino in Salta and then as head winemaker at Luigi Bosca in Mendoza. With the results he achieved his reputation in the Argentinian wine industry developed such that he is a sought after consultant and advises numerous wineries across the country.

In the early 2000's he set up his own winery in Perdriel a little to the south of Mendoza from where he produces quite a wide range of wines all of which are characteristically well crafted and concentrated, but with real elegance. And the, generally, modest pricing only adds to their appeal.
