✨ Technical Specifications
Durigutti's interpretation of Viognier showcases the versatility of Mendoza's high-altitude terroirs, proving that the region can produce white wines of immense character alongside its famous reds. Sourced from select vineyards where warm days and cool mountain nights preserve the grape's delicate aromatics, the Durigutti brothers apply their signature low-intervention winemaking philosophy to this Rhône native. By utilizing concrete vats and native yeasts, they capture the classic, exotic profile of Viognier—characterized by white peach, apricot, and soft floral notes—while maintaining a bright, refreshing acidity and a beautifully textured mouthfeel that avoids the oiliness sometimes associated with the variety.

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.
