Mauricio Lorca Gran Blend Finca Los Altepes Valle de Uco Mendoza, 2018

An immediate hit, this is a concentrated wine with great balance. It has a complex bouquet with aromas of cedar, green beans, black cherry, undergrowth and vanilla. It is smooth with a layered texture and flavours of blackberry, blackcurrant and vanilla toast. An elegant flavoursome wine which lingers on the palate finishing with bitter cherry, woody and savoury notes. It is a blend of 70% Malbec giving sweetness, 20% Syrah adding freshness and acidity and 10% Petit Verdot conveying structure. All grapes were grown in Los Arboles with each vine having produced just one kilogram of concentrated grapes, with a very strict selection.
