Aromas of honeysuckle, green apple, and ripe pear open in the glass. On the palate, flavours of dried apricot and white peach add to the roundness of the wine, while the steely minerality and firm acidity add a refreshing element.

Located 11 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, the estate has more than 1,000 small vineyard blocks covering hillside slopes, which benefit from varying microclimates, different levels of humidity and intense canopy management. Well-draining granitic soils and cooling Atlantic breezes allow the grapes to ripen steadily. The vineyards are surrounded by lush forests, palm trees, rocky soils and granite boulders.

The hand-harvested grapes were fermented in stainless-steel tanks at 17ºC for two weeks. The wine then remained in tank for a further three months on lees before blending and bottling.

Bodega Garzón is a family-owned winery in Maldonado on the Atlantic coast in southern Uruguay. They pioneered viticulture in this area over 10 years ago, and have since become the standard-bearer for premium wines from Uruguay. In November 2018, their pioneering status was recognised by Wine Enthusiast with the ‘New World Winery of the Year’ award.
