Rutini Wines, founded in 1885, has evolved into one of Argentina's leading producers, known for combining historic pedigree with cutting‑edge Andean viticulture. The Gualtallary Chardonnay comes from a high-altitude, limestone-rich vineyard in the Uco Valley, a site prized for its intense sunlight, cool nights and naturally low yields.
Rutini has invested heavily in understanding this terroir, tailoring canopy management and picking dates to preserve acidity and aromatic precision. The 2023 vintage is whole‑cluster pressed and fermented partly in French oak barrels and partly in concrete to achieve both tension and textural depth. A period of bâtonnage builds mid‑palate weight while maintaining a mineral backbone.
This Single Vineyard bottling exemplifies Rutini's pursuit of purity and elegance at altitude, offering citrus, white flower notes and a long, chalky finish that reflects Gualtallary's singular profile.
