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.
