Bodega Garzón
The family-owned Bodega Garzón has been pioneering viticulture in Maldonado in southern Uruguay for over 10 years.Their wines have become the standard-bearer for premium wines from Uruguay. Winning the much-coveted Wine Enthusiast ‘New World Winery of the Year’ in 2018 their wines continue to perform highly in all wine competitions. Each plot is carefully selected for a specific variety based on its soil and microclimate and with each plot around 0.2 hectares over 1,150 plots the estate is a beautiful patchwork of healthy vines all built on natural terraces. In the winery, Bodega Garzón uses cutting-edge technology and operates using a gravity system to ensure quality and energy efficiency at every stage of production.Although Bodega Garzón focuses primarily on the red Tannat, Uruguay’s flagship grape, it works with many other, often surprising varieties. Garzón is one of the few producers in Uruguay to work with the Galician white Albariño.
