Deep ruby in colour, there are aromas of plum and blackberry with subtle oak nuances. The wine is elegant on the palate, with polished tannins, a core of vibrant fruit and great concentration on the long finish.

Located 18 kms 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 an 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.

After harvest, the fermentation took place in 80 hectolitres cement tanks. The wine was then aged on its lees for 12 months in French oak barrels and 50 hectolitres casks before 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.
