Winery Overview & History
Bodega Garzón anchors Uruguay’s rise on the global stage. Established in Maldonado near the Atlantic coast, the estate combines cutting-edge architecture, sustainable design, and a clear vision for coastal, food-friendly wines.
Vineyard Location & Terroir
Rolling hills of granite and ballast (crushed rock) sit just inland from the ocean, channeling sea breezes and large diurnal shifts. The result is naturally fresh, aromatic grapes with saline lift and fine structure.
Grape Varieties & Wine Style
Uruguay’s signature Tannat leads the reds; Albariño shines among whites. Styles emphasize energy and precision—ripe fruit framed by bright acidity and coastal savor.
Signature Wines
- Single Vineyard Tannat — Structured, spicy, and age-worthy.
- Single Vineyard Albariño — Citrus, stone fruit, and Atlantic salinity.
- Reserva Range — Elegant, versatile bottlings for broad pairing.
Winemaking & Cellar Practices
Gravity-flow winery, small-lot fermentations, concrete/large-format oak, and sustainable energy design. Focus on texture, purity, and gastronomic versatility.
