A rounded Mendoza Chardonnay for a relaxed dinner with a little more flavour
Rutini Collection Chardonnay is made for the kind of white-wine moment when you want generous fruit without losing freshness. It opens with tropical fruit, peach and green apple, then feels rounded and full on the palate, with pineapple, melon and banana flavours. Gentle vanilla from French oak adds a soft, comforting edge rather than taking over.
There is enough freshness and mineral character to keep the long finish poised, so each sip stays lively. It is a satisfying choice for Chardonnay drinkers who enjoy a fuller, fruit-led style with a smooth texture and a touch of oak.
Open a bottle for salmon or seafood risotto, a herby chicken supper, or a plate of soft cheeses shared at the table. Serve it lightly chilled and let it accompany an easy, unhurried meal.

The story behind the wine
Rutini Wines traces its Mendoza story back to 1885, when Italian immigrant Felipe Rutini founded Bodega La Rural in Coquimbito, Maipú. He brought winemaking knowledge from his home region of Le Marche to one of Mendoza’s earliest wine-growing areas, laying foundations that remain central to the producer’s identity.
The story continued through the family: after Felipe’s death, his wife and children carried on the work and developed the winery’s pioneering spirit. That family continuity gives a useful sense of why this is more than a varietal label: it comes from a producer whose history is closely connected with the growth of Mendoza wine.
Rutini began planting vineyards in the Uco Valley in 1924, an early move into a part of Mendoza that has become one of the region’s important wine-growing centres. Today, the Collection range is produced at the Rutini Wines facility in Tupungato, bringing that long Mendoza heritage into a contemporary bottle of Chardonnay.
