Durigutti Family Winemakers

Pablo and Héctor believe that this is more than just a job; it’s a way of life, a dream come true.

Durigutti Family Winemakers started out in 2002 as a small winery, the joint dream of sibling oenologists Héctor and Pablo Durigutti. Originally from Rivadavia in the east of Mendoza, they took a trip to Las Compuertas in their youth and fell in love with the region immediately. They decided it was the right place to settle down and start building a family legacy. Even though it was a family enterprise, the brothers always had a larger vision revolving around exporting Argentine wine overseas. Their first wines were thus focused mainly on external markets, but they were soon joined by a range made with both local and international consumers in mind. The brothers have always been dedicated to growth and expanding their horizons, strengthening the team, re-investing profits into new technologies and keeping tabs on new trends and styles while never losing their sense of place. Their working philosophy strikes a balance between tradition and innovation, motivated by their innate curiosity and fascination with interpreting each terroir they come across.
