Mauricio Lorca Lirico Petit Verdot Reserve 2019
Market Price
To show you the value you're getting as an Angel...
We regularly benchmark a selection of our wines against up to three comparable wines on the market. The Market Price is based on the price of those wines.
What do we mean by benchmark? We taste them blind against our own wines, or we use our market knowledge (over 40 years between us) to set an industry standard Market Price.
If you buy one of our wines and disagree with the Market Price, or it's not your cup of tea, we'll add a credit to your account. For more info, see our FAQS.

About the wine
Pure Argentine Petit Verdot is hard enough to come by, never mind at this kind of quality
- We've learnt to expect great things when we see Mauricio's name on a bottle, but he's really outdone himself this time. This is a bottle of 100% Petit Verdot from one of Argentina's most remote regions... it's hot property.
- Mendoza's Uco Valley is the source of some of Argentina's best red wine, something that this Reserve proves case and point. From one of Uco's 1000 meter high vineyards, Mauricio harvested these Petit Verdot grapes by hand, combining quality grapes and labour intensive winemaking in a way that could only guarantee success.
- Mauricio's hard work always pays off. This Reserve is luxurious with concentrated aroma's of blackberries, flavours of rich black cherries, bright violets and sage. It's packing some serious bang for buck, so go on, why not - treat yourself!

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.
