Lorca Fantasia Torrontes 2023
Red 14% ABV ABV LorcaBirthday dinner winner
Opened this for my birthday meal and everyone loved it. There's loads of layers to it if you let it sit in the glass for a bit — kept finding new things with every sip. Doesn't taste heavy at all despite being 14% which is a bonus when you're on your third glass. Lorca clearly know what they're doing.
Really nice find
Picked this up after the guy at my local wine shop recommended it. Really aromatic when you pour it, loads of floral stuff going on but not over the top. Goes down dangerously easy for 14% — had most of the bottle before I realised. At fifteen quid I'd definitely buy it again.
Solid midweek wine
Bought this for a Wednesday night dinner and it did the job nicely. Good balance to it, not too fruity not too dry. The finish is clean and keeps you coming back for another glass. Torrontés isn't a grape I buy often but this one's changed my mind a bit.
Decent but expected more
It's fine. Smells lovely, I'll give it that, but for over £15 I wanted a bit more going on. It's well made and everything, just didn't blow me away. Would probably reach for something else at this price point next time.
