After a precise soil composition study was completed, 5 wines were defined resulting from the 5 different soil profiles. Each wine is made in separate concrete eggs and then a final blend is determined. Using over 100-year-old vines helps to make this wine as delicious as it is. Lighter in style than your typical Malbec but still full of flavour and complexity.
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.

Tasting Note from Jancis Robinson (2018 Vintage)
Very fresh, almost leafy nose. No obvious sweetness at all – finishes bone dry and refreshing, almost racy! Clean and long. Super-appetising.

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.

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.

Hector and Pablo Durigutti were born in Mendoza, the cradle of Argentinian wine and were raised together. Their childhood and their home were always connected to a sensorial world, with aromas, ingredients and flavours that, over time, motivated them to choose the path to become enologists. As adults, they would find these familiar memories and similar passions. In 2002 they dedicated their efforts to the creation of a small family winey. Today the brothers have evolved to form a new generation of winemakers, leading an evolutionary change in Argentina’s viticulture. Their range includes the value-driven Abeja wines and the upper-tier Las Compuertas offerings produced from the oldest vineyard sites.
Matilde is the flagship wine of this up-and-coming Argentine venture and precious little is produced. Sourced from the same estate vineyard with vines dating back to 1929, Matilde spends 24 months in new French oak. This loaded effort displays more obvious (but well-integrated) oak. This is an unctuous and silky red with a long finish. In the nose, aromas of vanilla, white chocolate, mocha, and tobacco combine with ripened fruit, blackcurrant, and plum. Food pairings? Big red meats!

Giorgio Flessati has won numerous awards for his magician-like talents as a winemaker in the challenging Chilean area of the Elqui Valley. The vines grow at an astonishing 650 meters (2,132 feet)! The results are magical indeed: Stunning rose petal, violet, loganberry and white pepper aromas. Bright and savoury palate with succulent blackberries and an appetizing spiced game finish. Lush but not jammy, with exquisite purity. Pair with lamb, steak, burgers, roast beef.
