Dry, zesty and refreshing with delicious green apple character and just a touch of the tropical on the nose; and nice shortbready notes from extended lees contact – made from Chardonnay with a smidgeon of Chenin Blanc. As with most of Mauricio Lorca’s wines, the grapes are grown in Vista Flores in the Uco Valley at around 1,200 metres above sea level. The key here is high-density planting – 6,850 plants per hectare to be precise. Taste this and you’ll be surprised to learn it is made using the Charmat (transfer) method. In this case, however, the tanks are very small and Mauricio dotes on them as though they were new oak barrels.
