Description
What kind of wine it is
Bodega Garzón Albariño Reserva is a still white wine that enhances the authenticity of the Albariño grape variety. Marked by the Reserva designation, it displays a straw yellow colour with greenish highlights and an intense bouquet, characterised by notes of peach, ripe lemon and a distinct saline minerality. On the palate, it opens with freshness, supported by lively acidity that perfectly balances the medium body. The sip reveals hints of pear, melon and orange zest, leading to a refreshing and extremely precise finish.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Uruguay, in the coastal terroir of Garzón, within the Maldonado region. The vines sink their roots into granitic soils, influenced by the Atlantic maritime climate and constant ocean breezes. This ecosystem imparts a pronounced gustatory tension and a well-defined savouriness to the wine. Viticulture follows organic and sustainable principles, integrating biodynamic methods to protect the environment. Such agricultural rigour ensures a product suitable for those following a vegan diet, reflecting Bodega Garzón's deep commitment to nature.
How it is produced
The winery preserves the purity of the fruit by carrying out fermentation in stainless steel tanks. A subsequent period on fine lees, lasting several months, enriches the creamy texture on the palate while maintaining the original freshness. To complete the process, part of the wine rests in French oak barrels for six months. This careful craftsmanship shapes an ideal balance between the varietal expression of Albariño and a rounded mineral profile, ensuring a clear and satisfying sip.
History and Curiosities
Bodega Garzón Albariño Reserva 2022 is a vibrant Uruguayan white wine born on the granitic soils of Maldonado, caressed by the fresh Atlantic breezes.

Crafted by oenologist Germán Bruzzone following strict organic and sustainable practices, this vegan-friendly wine has won over international critics, receiving excellent scores from magazines such as Decanter and James Suckling.
