2023 Bodega Garzon 'Single Vineyard' Albarino Uruguay
Bodega Garzón’s Albariño, a pale yellow gem, offers a nose of tropical fruit with citrus and floral hints. Its round, fresh body reveals saline and mineral nuances, reflecting its unique terroir. Nestled near Punta del Este, our estate's diverse microclimates and ocean breezes shape this vibrant expression of Albariño. Discover its elegance today.
Blessed with pristine views of the Atlantic, an unspoiled ecosystem, and dusty, charismatic back streets, the Punta del Este zone of Uruguay is very quickly becoming a new Côte d’Azur for discerning travelers of means. Nearby, wine entrepreneur Alejandro Bulgheroni established Bodega Garzón, a sustainable, earth-friendly wine estate, restaurant, and private club. Wind and solar power provide 40% of the property’s energy needs, and world-renowned chef Francis Mallman is the Ambassador and Culinary Director for the estate. Quite simply, no expense has been spared to make this winery a showpiece of the southern hemisphere. Blessed with fast-draining granite sands called “balasto,” these rolling hills are heaven for wine grapes, especially Tannat. We were also thrilled to discover some delightful reds like Petit Verdot and Marselan, as well as award-winning Albariño that is some of the best made outside of Spain. We invite you to experience just how sumptuous and luxurious Uruguayan wine can be!

A nice punch of chalk, oyster shells and stones here with green apples. Elegant and gastronomic on the crisp, linear palate. Fine austerity with a saline drive in the finish.
