Product description
Rutini Felipe Rutini Blend is an iconic, limited-production red wine from Rutini Wines, bringing together carefully selected grapes from high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza. The blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot delivers a refined balance between ripe fruit, spice and complex barrel-aged notes.
In the glass it shows a deep ruby-red colour. On the nose, aromas of ripe black berries, plum, blackcurrant and subtle dried fruit tones appear. These are complemented by delicate spicy, cocoa and chocolate notes, enhanced by thoughtful ageing in oak barrels. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated, with velvety tannins, well-integrated acidity and a long, layered finish.
Style and characteristics
The style of Rutini Felipe Rutini Blend is defined by its rich body, refined structure and detailed aromatic profile. Malbec brings the wine’s fruity, silky character, Cabernet Sauvignon provides backbone and structure, while Merlot softens and rounds out the palate. A smaller proportion of Petit Verdot adds depth, colour intensity and spicy nuances.
The winery’s aim with this cuvée is to create an elegant blend with good ageing potential that is also enjoyable while still relatively young. Barrel maturation adds subtle vanilla, toasted and tobacco notes that integrate smoothly into the wine’s fruit-forward character without overpowering it.
Serving suggestions
Rutini Felipe Rutini Blend is a strong choice for special occasions, festive dinners or as a thoughtful gift for wine enthusiasts. It pairs particularly well with beef, lamb and game dishes, grilled meats, richly seasoned stews and aged hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18 °C and allow the wine to breathe so its aromas can fully unfold.
The wine’s structure and concentration make it suitable for further bottle ageing, during which it can develop additional complexity and even more harmonious, refined aromas. This cuvée is ideal for those who appreciate detailed, elegant Argentine red wines and are looking for a characterful, memorable premium blend.
