On Rufino's rooftop in Leblon, Rufino Terraza celebrates haute cuisine focused on meat, fire, and the precision of Argentine technique. The intimate space accommodates 14 people at the counter for a tasting menu that explores premium cuts, native ingredients, and the rich culture of the neighboring country, paired with wines that traverse the diverse terroirs of all Argentina.

We offer two harmonizations in 5 courses (Classic and Premium) 100% served via Coravin, ensuring glasses of iconic wines and rare vintages. Our federal wine list spans Argentina from north to south, juxtaposing great names with small artisanal producers and connecting ancestral and low-intervention methods with precision enology, delivering freshness and absolute integrity with every service.

GLASS HIGHLIGHTS

Subject to availability*

Matias Riccitelli Extreme Vineyards Malbec 2018

Redefines Malbec by moving away from the heavy and predictable profile. Born at over 1,400 m in alluvial and limestone soils of Gualtallary, it ferments in concrete with minimal intervention and whole clusters. The result is a vertical, mineral, and tense red, marked by chalky tannins, electric acidity, and notes of mountain herbs, translating the contemporary precision of the Uco Valley.

Bodega Chacra Mainqué Chardonnay 2022

Partnership between Piero Incisa (Sassicaia family) and the Burgundian master Jean-Marc Roulot. From the Upper Valle del Río Negro, it combines biodynamics, calcareous alluvial soils, and cold Patagonian winds. Vinified with native yeasts and delicately aged in wood and amphorae, it delivers sharp citrus energy, chalky purity, and an austere salinity worthy of a great Meursault.

Otronia 45º Roaring White Cut 2024

From the southernmost vineyard in the world (45º South parallel, Chubut), it combines Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Riesling on lacustrine soils. Slow maturation under cold and extreme winds, aging in foudres and concrete. A white wine exuberant with white flowers and spices, with piercing Arctic acidity and a saline finish, showcasing the extreme vocation of the Patagonian terroir.
