Mauricio Lorca Fantasia Torrontes - 2005(W-800)

Mauricio Lorca Fantasia Torrontes
Tangy, Zesty Floral, Aromatic

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.

Tasting Note

This delicious light white wine has a tropical nose of lychee, rose petals, and mangoes, as well as a finish reminiscent of peach pits. It d... (more...)oesn’t have a trace of oak (fermented in stainless steel), and with its well-balanced acidity and hint of sweetness before the dry finish, it would go beautifully with spicy Mexican or Thai food.
