Rutini Encuentro Malbec 2022
KShs3,025 incl. of VAT
Deep violet in color with ruby reflections. The nose opens with ripe blackberry, plum, and violets, layered with hints of mocha, sweet spice, and vanilla. On the palate, it’s plush and concentrated, offering juicy black fruit, a velvety mid-palate, and well-integrated tannins. Subtle oak influence lends complexity without overpowering the fruit. The finish is long, balanced, and accented by a touch of minerality.
Perfect alongside grilled meats, lamb chops, mushroom risotto, or aged hard cheeses. A classic match for Argentine asado.
