ABOUT THE PRODUCER
About Tinto de Rulo Malbec
Tinto de Rulo Malbec is sourced from vineyards over 100-year-old vines. Packed full of dark juicy fruits and firm tannins.
All the fruit comes from very old vines and the wines made in such a way they show the essence of the vineyards. According to The Drinks Business, a rescue project is underway to revive Chile’s Malbec heritage after the discovery of 140-year-old Malbec vins in Bio-Bio, which aims to establish the San Rosendo region in Bio-Bio as the center of old-vine Malbec production in Chile and South America.
About Tinto de Rulo
Tinto de Rulo is the project of three friends who, by pooling resources, make wine together – but even then it’s a small project, making just 1200 cases in total.
Tiny plots of Pais and Malbec, ranging from 70 to 200 years in age, are spread across Itata and Bio Bio. They have a little plot of Carignan from just over the hills in Maule as well. Fruit from these pristine organic vineyards is fermented in clay amphorae and very old native rauli pipes with only minimal sulfur added at bottling – these wines are a proper introduction to this wilder side of Chile.
