How are the best grapes selected?

To produce outstanding wines you need excellent raw materials.
Technology as an ally of our industry.

Since our origins, the application of technological innovations has distinguished us from the rest..
En la búsqueda de la mayor calidad para nuestros vinos, hemos implementado a lo largo de nuestra historia las ventajas que la tecnología puede aportar a una industria que tiene su origen en la tierra pero que goza también de las grandes habilidades de la mano del hombre y de infinitas posibilidades guiadas por la ciencia y el conocimiento.

This is why at Rutini we were the first ones to use roll fermentors in Argentina and we have tested precision machinery for the wine industry, in addition to testingin addition to testing different different uses in cooperage and tanksWe also use stainless steel tanks, such as microvinifications in diamond tanks and stainless steel eggs, or the use of stainless steel and oak rolls.
Our tanks are temperature controlled hot-cold and the winery works by gravity, avoiding unnecessary pumping and movement of the wine in order to take care of the product, all this combined with grapes of the highest quality.

For technology to provide the best results, it is necessary to have the best raw materials, it is necessary to have the best raw material.
Para eso nos proveemos de las uvas del Valle de Uco, donde contamos con tres fincas en Gualtallary, La Consulta and Altamira.A very special selectionA technological star of our winery is the the optical selector.
Su trabajo comienza cuando la cinta transporta la uva, ya despalillada, bajo el lente de la cámara.
La fotografía obtenida es analizada por un software que tiene la capacidad de determinar los descartes basándose en tres parámetros: shape, color and size of fruits.

Once the decision has been made, it sends the order to 150 solenoid valves located at the end of the belt to separate the defective grains by sweeping them with pressurized air.
Thanks to this technology we have achieved an excellent homogeneity in the selection of grapes, as it allows us to efficiently separate broken berries, raisins, vegetal remainsThis allows us to efficiently separate broken berries, raisins, plant debris (leaves and stalks) and botrytized berries. This sophisticated sorting system is used for the following lines Collection Rutini, Single Vineyard, Anthology, Section y Felipe Rutiniwith pleasantly surprising results.

Being selective can be a great virtue, choosing the right resources leads us down the desired path.
We like to sustain this challenge of combining technological excellence with natural wealth and share it.
