Proyecto Las Compuertas Blanco de Finca

Proyecto Las Compuertas is the Durigutti brothers' project to protect the heritage vineyards of Las Compuertas, the coolest corner of Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. Since 2007 they have restored 34 hectares of historic vines, named Finca Victoria after their mother.

Blanco de Finca is an experimental estate white and the first white wine of the Las Compuertas GI: 89% Marsanne and 11% Semillon, organically farmed at Finca Victoria.

Tasting notes

Pale yellow with green glints. Floral aromas of white flowers and fruit such as fresh, ripe pear. Medium-bodied with a silky texture from aging on fine lees in concrete, fruity, with white peach. Good acidity brings freshness and an elegant finish.
