About the producer
In 1885 Felipe Rutini began the construction of the La Rural winery. This same year, the arrival of the railway in the province enabled the transportation of wine, helping to further strengthen the industry.
Felipe Rutini was the first to plant vines in the Uco Valley and was a great innovator in production techniques, which allowed the winery to grow steadily throughout history.
Nowadays Bodega La Rural is one of the leading names in Argentine winemaking. During the nineties the winery was completely renovated, incorporating state-of-the-art technology whist maintaining its original 19th century architecture. This unique combination of tradition and modernity can be noted throughout the winery.
Bodega La Rural currently owns estates in five different areas of Mendoza, including Maipú, Rivadavia, La Consulta, Altamira and Tupungato, with a total of 255 hectares under vine. This diverse source of vineyard sites allows us to cultivate each individual grape variety in the area that offers the best suited growing conditions.
