Mauricio Lorca
Fantasia Mendoza Malbec
Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
My second bottle from my recent www.thewinegallery.com.au order that I got for 40% off using the promo code 'travellingcorkscrew' - make use of it guys!
This bottle of Mauricio Lorca Fantasia 2014 Malbec is from the Mendoza region in Argentina. I really enjoyed reading the notes that come along with the bottles in TWG orders 'Mauricio is particularly well known for his slightly maverick approaches, such as the rejection of oaking'. Apparently he wants the natural flavours of the grapes shine through.
Enough blabbing, let's get to the wine tasting!
It's a deep inky purple red on the eye, which is fairly typically of Malbec. The nose is full of warming berry cigar scents. I actually found it rather restrained on the old sniffer. The palate is soft yet full of intriguing notes that I struggled to put my taste buds on. The 3 words that came to mind when sipping my way through the bottle were: savoury, rustic and plum. A great match to our steaks.
