Mauricio Lorca Syrah

Winery Story

Mauricio Lorca - chief winemaker at Enrique Foster and formerly of Chilean-owned giant Finca La Celia, Catena, and Luigi Bosca - creates his... (more...) own wines using grapes from his high-altitude vineyards in Vistaflores, Uco Valley. Young and highly talented, Lorca is one of the few Argentine winemakers who believes that the true fruit and terroir of a wine should be allowed to shine through. His production levels are extremely low - he produced 1,000 cases of each of the Fantasia wines, 1,000 cases of each of the Ópalo wines, 875 cases of Poético Cabernet, and 1,100 cases of Poético Malbec in 2005 - and his plans don’t include growing much larger. This is a bodega to watch; Lorca is a star on the rise.
