Rufina refers to hillside vineyards. Water runs down the hillside without collecting at the base of the vines. This puts a strain on the vines and produces less fruit per vine but more intense fruit...

Offers plummy fruit, with hints of flowers, citrus and light chocolate. Medium-bodied, with a balanced and tasty palate, fine tannins and a clean finish.
