This medium-bodied Malbec has aromas of floral, plums, hint of leather and chocolate; with savoury flavours, chewy tannins. This red wine from Bodegas y Viñedos Mauricio Lorca winery... Vista Flores enjoys purity and intensity of sunlight. With approximately 3000 hours of sunlight per year and its altitude of 1050M, the solar radiation ensures full phenolic ripeness of black grapes. The region is known for the drop in temperature between daytime and night, a phenomenon that was accentuated in 2013; 30°C to 32°C in the day dropped to 10°C to 12°C at night, so that acidity in the wines remains fresh. The Lírico Malbec 2013 has floral, plums and chocolate on the nose with a hint of leather. More savoury flavours strike the palate and it has a good potential for cellaring. 30% of the wine was oak-aged for a short period.

This medium-bodied Malbec has aromas of black plums, mocha and violets, with meaty tannins and structure. This red wine from Bodegas y Viñedos Mauricio Lorca winery is fortunate to bask in more than 3,000 hours of sunlight each year. The vines are planted 1,050 metres above sea level, which preserves grape acidity at night but also concentrates the solar intensity, allowing for complete phenolic ripeness of the grapes. The vast diurnal temperature range from 30°C to 32°C in the daytime to just 10°C to 12°C at night in 2013 add to this wine's complexity. About 30% of the wine was oak-aged for a short time. Try this terrific red with game dishes.
