Garzon Reserva Albarino 2024 750ml

Garzón Reserva Albariño 2024 is a vibrant and expressive white wine from the coastal vineyards of Garzón in Uruguay. Made from 100 percent Albariño, it combines ripe stone fruit and delicate floral aromas with lively citrus, bright acidity and a distinctive mineral character.

Fermentation takes place in stainless steel and cement tanks, followed by three to six months resting on fine lees. This careful maturation builds texture and depth while preserving the purity, freshness and aromatic lift of the fruit. With only 2 grams per litre of residual sugar, the wine finishes clean, dry and beautifully refreshing.

About The Winery, Vineyards And Region

Bodega Garzón is located in the Maldonado region of south eastern Uruguay, close to Punta del Este and approximately 18 kilometres from the Atlantic Ocean. The vineyards sit at elevations reaching around 160 metres above sea level, where cool Atlantic breezes moderate temperatures and help the grapes retain natural acidity, freshness and aromatic detail.

The estate contains more than 1,000 individual vineyard blocks spread across rolling hillside slopes. Each block has its own orientation, sunlight exposure, humidity and microclimate, allowing the winemaking team to match individual grape varieties with the sites where they perform best.

Garzón is distinguished by ancient soils formed from weathered crystalline rock. These free draining soils, locally known as ballast, contain granite and mineral rich material that encourages the vines to establish deep root systems. This challenging environment contributes to wines with energy, mineral character and a strong sense of place.

The vineyards are surrounded by native forests, rocky outcrops and naturally occurring palm trees. Sustainable vineyard management is a central part of the estate philosophy, with a focus on biodiversity, careful canopy management and eliminating herbicides and synthetic products wherever possible. Grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected to preserve quality and regional character.

About Bodega Garzón

Bodega Garzón was created by Alejandro Bulgheroni and his wife Bettina, who saw the potential of this remarkable coastal landscape and set out to build one of the defining wineries of modern Uruguay. Working with internationally respected winemaking consultant Alberto Antonini and winemaker Germán Bruzzone, the estate focuses on producing wines that clearly express their grape variety and vineyard origins.

The winery is built into the natural terraces of the hills and uses gravity to move grapes and wine gently through the production process. Stainless steel tanks, concrete vessels and oak vats provide the winemaking team with a range of options while allowing the character of the vineyards to remain central.

Sustainability has also shaped the winery from the beginning. The facility generates wind and solar energy and became the first winery outside North America to receive LEED certification across its entire building.

Cellaring Potential

Delicious now for its vibrant fruit, floral aromatics and mineral freshness. It may also be cellared for three to five years from vintage, during which time the citrus and peach characters should develop greater texture and savoury complexity.
