Bodega Ruca Malen Kinien MalbecV

Wine Notes

Ruca Malen’s dream began in 1998 when Jean Pierre Thibaud and Jacques Louis de Montalembert confessed to each other the desire to build their own winery in Mendoza. Back then, Jean Pierre was leaving the presidency of Chandon Winery Argentina after 10 years, whilst Jacques Louis had acquired a solid knowledge of winemaking in the Bourgogne region.

Since its first harvest in 1999, Ruca Malen aims to achieve the highest quality in wines, focusing on style, elegance and distinction.

Conditions have to be perfect for Bodega Ruca Malen to make ‘Kinien’ (meaning ‘unique’); a Mendoza Malbec that wins awards year after year. Grown at high altitudes that concentrate flavour and aroma in the grapes, Kinien is a complex and intense wine with exceptional freshness and plenty of dark, spicy fruit. This is a unique and brooding wine made only in exceptional vintages, from hand selected Malbec grown in Argentina’s classic Mendoza province.
