A textbook, modern style Gualtallary Malbec from Rutini’s own vineyards, this is richly, nostril-twitchingly aromatic, with violet and rosemary scents, sweet oak, layered tannins and plush blueberry and black cherry fruit.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Encuentro range was created by two winemakers, Mariano di Paola and Californian Paul Hobbs, and named for their encounter. This range contains various varietals and blends, including the 2016 Encuentro Malbec. The wines don't usually specify origin on their labels, even though this one was produced with grapes from Gualtallary. It fermented in stainless steel with selected yeasts and matured in French oak barrels for nine months. It is a little closed, not very expressive and is even a little reduced. It slowly opens up and reveals floral and fresh aromas. The palate is medium-bodied, with fine-grained tannins and very good balance.
Malbec is a popular red wine grape variety known for its rich, full-bodied character and deep flavors. Originating from France, particularly in the Cahors region, it has gained immense popularity in Argentina’s Mendoza region, where it thrives in the unique terroir. This wine typically showcases flavor notes of dark fruits like blackberry and plum, complemented by hints of chocolate, tobacco, and leather.
The aromatic profile of Malbec includes enticing scents of black cherry, violet, cocoa, and spice. Its texture is characterized by smooth tannins and a velvety mouthfeel that enhances its appeal. Malbec pairs beautifully with grilled meats such as steak and barbecued dishes, making it an excellent choice for casual dining or special occasions. Winemaking techniques often involve oak aging in French or American barrels to add complexity to the wine’s flavor profile.
