About Lorca

Originally destined for medical school before a chance encounter hooked him on viticulture, Mauricio Lorca has evolved into one of Argentina’s most critically acclaimed winemaking forces. Having built an international reputation crafting 96-point blockbusters for some of the country’s grandest historic brands, Lorca now directs his immense talent toward small-batch, artisanal creations from the premier high-altitude slopes of the Uco Valley. Operating with uncompromising, absolute control over every stage of production—from meticulous winter pruning to gentle pressing—his handcrafted, crowd-funded allocations offer a profound alternative to commercial mainstream options, delivering remarkably smooth, medium-to-full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon and red blends that pulse with intense dark cherry fruit, rich baking spice, and a velvety, chiseled structural elegance.
