Rutini Antologia XXXVI 2010

Rutini Wines bring a reputation of their own, as they are one of the most successfully brands in Argentina. Their prestigious and traditional style has been recognised throughout many generations in the country, bringing great excellence and distinction.
From the start, Felipe Rutini was guided by the motto “Labor and perseverance.” This attitude shaped the development of his wines, which became synonymous with superlative quality. Following his innovative spirit, in 1925 the winery began to plant vines in the Uco Valley. From those first pioneering vines, the region has continued to expand its plantings and become one of the primary wine-producing areas in Mendoza. In the 1990s, the original Bodega La Rural facilities in Coquimbito were completely renovated, incorporating cutting-edge technology into the nineteenth-century structure.
Today that property houses the Bodega La Rural Wine Museum, where visitors can learn about Felipe Rutini’s first forays into wine production and witness the evolution of traditional techniques and machinery. In keeping with its founder’s drive for excellence, in 2008 construction began on a new Rutini Wines facility in Tupungato, within the Uco Valley. It is there that our top level wines, such as Felipe Rutini, Apartado, Antología, Single Vineyard , Colección Rutini, Encuentro, and Trumpeter wines are currently produced. Our Uco Valley vineyards comprise more than 400 hectares at an altitude of between 1,050 and 1,200 meters above sea level. An additional 120 hectares of fields that are currently being planted with vines will expand the winery’s possibilities for producing unique wines that are carefully tended to and nurtured from the very beginning.

A red blend wine, also known as a "claret" or "cuvée," is a wine that is made by blending together different grape varieties. Red blends are created by winemakers with the goal of creating a wine that has a specific flavor profile, balance, and complexity. The most common grape varieties used in red blends are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah, but other grapes like Petit Verdot, Malbec, or Grenache can also be used.

The specific blend of grapes used in a red blend wine can vary depending on the winemaker's preference and the desired style of wine. A red blend can be designed to highlight the strengths of certain grape varieties, such as the tannins and structure of Cabernet Sauvignon or the fruitiness of Merlot. The different grape varieties are fermented separately and then blended together to create the final wine.

Red blends are known for their complexity and depth of flavor, they can have a wide range of aromas and flavors, such as black cherry, plum, blackberry, chocolate, and spice. The wine can have moderate to high tannins and acidity, which can make them well-suited for aging. They pair well with a wide range of foods, particularly red meats, strong cheeses and hearty dishes.
