Rutini in James Suckling’s Top 100
Rutini Single Vineyard Gualtallary Malbec 2023 and Apartado Gran Malbec 2023 received 95 points and were included in JamesSuckling.com’s Top 100 Wines of Argentina 2026.
JamesSuckling.com’s Top 100 Wines of Argentina is one of the industry’s most prestigious reports: each year, its experts taste more than 2,200 wines to select the country’s finest.
This year’s report confirms an idea that has guided Rutini’s work for decades: Argentine Malbec reaches its finest expression when it faithfully reflects its place of origin. In the Uco Valley, high altitude, distinct soils, and wide diurnal temperature variation yield wines with clear, expressive fruit, accompanied by freshness, tension, and an unmistakable terroir identity. Both distinguished wines originate in Gualtallary, one of the most prominent micro-regions in the report.
- Single Vineyard Gualtallary Malbec 2023: #72 – 95 points
- Apartado Gran Malbec 2023: #92 – 95 points
Single Vineyard Gualtallary Malbec 2023 captivated the experts:
“A profound nose of dark spices, blackberries, black cherries, violets and minerals. Intense and fleshy, with full body and fresh fruit. Tannins are very fine and chalky. Long finish.”

Apartado Gran Malbec 2023 also stood out:
“Ambitious, showing impressive depth and high concentration without heaviness. Pure violets with a mixture of red and purple fruit, plus a touch of graphite and mulberries. Full-bodied but juicy and packed, with plenty of fine-grained tannins lending verticality. Very structured and fresh.”
