Rutini Encuentro Malbec
Please view wine facts for the current vintage below as the vintage on the image may vary.
The Encuentro Malbec is produced with fruit from Tupungato aged in French and American oak. You can feel the ripeness and concentration as you put your nose in the glass, with lactic aromas intermixed with notes of damsons, prunes, banana skin and blackberries with creamy echoes from the wood. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a dense texture, fat tannins.

Rutini Encuentro
Symbolizes the encounter of two winemakers: Mariano Di Paola and Paul Hobbs. Together they created this original amalgam of two winemaking philosophies: Bordeaux (France) and Argentina’s New World savoir-faire that retains the fruity aromas and flavours of the grapes.
More complex and structured, these wines start to guide consumers into the true essence of winemaking at Rutini Wines. In Argentina, encounters are part of our culture. This wine is an embodiment of brotherhood, union and friendship.
