Winery Tasting Note (2019 Vintage)

Dark-cherry and berry aromas with crushed white pepper and salt. Some purple fruit and black bark, too. Medium-to full-bodied with lightly chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Can age. 

Brothers Hector and Pablo Durigutti started their family winery in 2002. They incorporate knowledge and technology in their search for wines that express their natural origin. The winery is located in the heart of Lujan de Cuyo, in the district of Las Compuertas where the first Malbecs were made in Mendoza Argentina.  Hector and Pablo's knowledge of their vineyards’ soils, the various wine production methods, the long growing seasons and their varied wine storage methods allow the wines to reflect a balance between tradition and innovation which results in very high-quality wines.

Durigutti's Las Compuertas line is from the Lujan de Cuyo sub-region in Mendoza which is rich with history and enormously valued.  Their passion for wine and love for the land motivate them to protect the traditional culture from being lost.  The Western region of Lujan de Cuyo offers the coolest climate, an important diversity of soils and traditional viticultural methods that have continued to be used over the century. 

In 2007 the brothers purchased their first 5 hectares of old vine Malbec vineyards.  The original vineyard dates back to 1914.  Over time they have built up to 25 hectares in total.  With this dedication, they aspire to develop, along with other local producers who maintain their vineyards with pride, the stewardship to offset the encroaching urbanization.

Under the Aguijon de Abeja label, they have produced another range of knock-out wines that offer incredible value. Sourced from regions around Argentina outside of their home base in Mendoza, the selections highlight the country's diverse terroirs. Each wine highlight's the specific terroir's influence on the varietal with a balanced contribution from the wood. The wines are all produced without chemical or physical treatment, are un-filtered and naturally stabilized. Natural yeasts are employed with the wines spending 8 months in oak barrels.

All Durigutti wine brands have been approved by Liaf Control S.R.L. as vegan and this certification can be found on each bottle.

Kensington Wine Market is privileged to be one of the exclusive retailers of Durigutti wine since 2008.
