Portrait of Mauricio Lorca
i. Biography
The Essentials The winemaking side of Bodega Foster Lorca in Perdriel, Luján de Cuyo, Argentina sits with Mauricio Lorca in a dual role: he makes the wine and owns the house it comes from. That arrangement puts production and stewardship in the same hands, so decisions about the cellar are tied directly to the long view of the property. Born in Rivadavia, Mendoza, Lorca frames the work as a balance between technical discipline and room for initiative, with the team given space to contribute rather than simply execute.
