Deep garnet with violet hues. The bouquet reveals rich aromas of ripe blackberries, violets, vanilla, and dark chocolate. On the palate, it’s full and velvety, with concentrated fruit, refined tannins, and hints of espresso, cinnamon, and cedar. The finish is long, polished, and elegantly persistent; a true testament to Mendoza’s winemaking excellence.
This sumptuous red is a natural companion for prime cuts of beef, lamb, or venison. It also pairs beautifully with truffle risotto, grilled portobello mushrooms, or dark chocolate desserts. For a local pairing, enjoy it alongside nyama choma or slow-braised goat in rich tomato sauce.
Description
This magnificent Malbec is the pinnacle of Rutini’s artistry, a masterful expression of Mendoza’s high-altitude terroir, where cool mountain air and intense sunlight create fruit of extraordinary depth. Crafted by winemaker Mariano Di Paola, one of Argentina’s most celebrated oenologists, it balances luxurious ripeness with elegance and poise. Each sip unfolds layers of blackberry, plum, and mocha, interwoven with fine-grained tannins and subtle oak spice. What makes it exceptional is its combination of power and sophistication. This makes it a wine that commands attention yet remains graceful.
Rutini Apartado Gran Malbec represents the very best of Argentine craftsmanship. Sourced from select Uco Valley vineyards at elevations exceeding 1,100 metres, the grapes benefit from cool nights that preserve acidity and aromatic purity. Its extended French oak ageing adds finesse, structure, and longevity, making it ideal for cellaring. This is not just a Malbec it’s a statement wine, embodying Rutini’s 130-year legacy of elegance and innovation.
