✨ Technical Specifications
Named in loving tribute to Victoria, the mother of winemaking brothers H ctor and Pablo Durigutti, this flagship icon blend represents the very pinnacle of their estate's craft. Sourced from select parcel selections of historic old vines in the prestigious Las Compuertas district of Lujn de Cuyo, Mendoza, the wine is a soulful expression of family heritage and high-altitude terroir. The brothers utilize traditional, low-intervention winemaking techniques, including fermentation with native yeasts in concrete vats followed by aging in fine French oak. The result is a wine of profound depth, complexity, and elegance, weaving together structural power with the plush, vibrant dark fruit character that defines Mendoza's finest terroirs.
🍾 About the Producer
Durigutti Family Winemakers was established in 2002 by winemaking brothers Héctor and Pablo Durigutti, who sought to champion Argentina's heritage terroirs through precise, artisanal winemaking. Their viticultural base centers on Finca Victoria in Las Compuertas, a historic high-altitude appellation within Luján de Cuyo perched above 1,000 meters along the Mendoza River. Here, ancient alluvial soils rich in silt, gravel, and limestone combine with intense Andean sunshine and marked diurnal shifts, creating optimal conditions for certified organic viticulture. Rejecting heavy-handed intervention, the Durigutti brothers emphasize spontaneous native yeast fermentations, concrete vats, ceramic amphorae, and judicious oak aging to preserve varietal clarity and site transparency. Their portfolio reflects an extraordinary stylistic breadth, anchored by the benchmark Proyecto Las Compuertas Malbec and the icon cuvée Esencia, alongside heritage recovery projects such as Cara Sucia and terroir-driven expressions from regional outposts across Mendoza and San Juan.
