Bodega Garzón sits just inland from Punta del Este, La Barra, and José Ignacio—Uruguay’s most captivating coastal stretch—where rolling hills meet the sea and a small artistic village of 600 residents shapes the region’s charm. This picturesque landscape provides an ideal setting for vineyards, orchards, and groves, and its distinctive ballast hills, stony soils, and steady Atlantic breezes create perfect conditions for elegant, complex wines. Garzón’s winemaking is rooted in meticulous terroir selection and a spirit of exploration, allowing top winemakers to craft premium varietals and blends with a strong sense of place. The result is a portfolio of wines defined by quality, personality, and the unmistakable character of Uruguay’s coastal countryside.
This Albariño is of a pale yellow color with greenish reflections and fruity aromas reminding of peach; balanced with citric notes. It is fresh and mineral with a marked acidity and a long and rounded aftertaste in mouth. Its ripening time takes place between 3 to 6 months on fine lees in Stainless Steel Tanks and Cement Tanks.
Excellent pairings for this wine are cod with cockles, citrus prawn salad, or traditional grilled seafood with warm mango salad and beans. It is delightfully well suited to Asian food, Peruvian ceviche, or a fresh tuna salad.
90 Wine Enthusiast This Albariño offers a youthful character, with a nose of orange zest and a crisp palate. Subtle hints of grapefruit and saline notes create a tasty mix of flavors that linger in the medium finish.
