More about the wine

Made with grapes from old-vine Malbec hidden away in San Rosendo, this is a great example of small, independent vignerons bringing to light old-vine gems. With fragrant notes of violets and plum, wild earthy notes and lively acidity.

More about the winery

Since 2013, friends Claudio Contreras and Jaime Pereira have been working with old vines that are over 100 years old, dry-farmed and planted on granitic soils between the regions of Bio Bio and Maule. Not only is their aim to give greater value to these vinous heirlooms through their Tinto de Rulo wines but also bring back the artisanal traditions of winemaking in southern Chile — using restored raulí wood pipas and clay tinajas.

Tinto de Rulo may be a small winery but they are a key part of the modern pipeño movement and their juicy País and old-vine Malbec wines are particularly worth hunting down.
