About The Producer
- Brothers Héctor and Pablo Durigutti are two of Argentina's most sought after consulting ecologists.
- Hector first became known for his work alongside Alberto Antonini as one of the co-founders of Altos Las Hormigas, the forward thinking project that
placed Argentine Malbec on the international map in the late nineties.
- Pablo comes with his own star studded resume which includes a stint at Catena and connections with more old-vine landowners than anyone else in the
region.
About the Wine
- Their flagship Malbec bottling, this wine represents what Hector and Pablo Durigutti do best - It is a juicy, forward example of the varietal while
at the same time astonishingly complex on the palate.
- High altitude fruit from La Consulta provides structure and power, while fruit from the warmer sector of Vistalba adds brightness and supple texture.
