✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Proyecto Las Compuertas Malbec 1914 is a liquid tribute to the viticultural heritage of Luján de Cuyo, crafted from a single historic vineyard planted in 1914. Located in Las Compuertas, one of Mendoza's oldest and most prestigious cool-climate corridors along the Mendoza River, these ancient, ungrafted vines are threatened by modern urban expansion. Hector and Pablo Durigutti initiated this project to protect and revive these centenarian parcels. The wine is crafted with minimal intervention, utilizing native yeasts and concrete eggs for fermentation and aging to preserve the pristine, high-altitude character of the fruit. It reveals a deep, elegant profile defined by floral violet notes, dark forest fruits, mineral tension, and remarkably fine-grained tannins that only old vines can yield.

Guided by a philosophy of minimal intervention and deep respect for agricultural heritage, the estate crafts terroir-driven wines using native yeasts, gentle extraction, and maturation vessels such as concrete eggs. While deeply committed to revitalizing centenarian vineyards in Mendoza, the brothers also champion diverse regional expressions sourced from high-altitude terroirs across Argentina, ranging from the northern valleys to Patagonia. Durigutti is internationally acclaimed for its expressive, finely structured interpretations of Malbec, Bonarda, and Cabernet Franc, alongside premium flagship bottlings under the Familia Durigutti and Gran Reserva lines.
