Lorca

Mendoza reds anchored in Bonarda, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec.

Lorca produces wines from Mendoza, Argentina's premier wine region. The winery focuses on classic varietals suited to the region's high-altitude terroir and intense sunlight. Bonarda emerges as the flagship, a wine that has drawn attention from Wine Advocate and Decanter. The winery also makes Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, both grapes that thrive in Mendoza's continental climate. Bonarda, traditionally a workhorse varietal in Argentina, shows particular promise here, achieving depth and structure that merit serious consideration. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec round out a portfolio rooted in what the region does best: dark-fruited reds with the concentration that comes from Mendoza's elevation and diurnal temperature swings. These are straightforward expressions of place and grape.
