“Guided by the hand of Alberto Antonini, Bodega Garzón has become one of the forerunners of Uruguay’s trend towards increasingly vibrant coastal wines. From the granite-rich soils of the coastal hills of Maldonado, this is produced from a selection of parcels about 18km from the Atlantic. A lo-fi approach in the cellar: fermentation in concrete tanks and ageing in untoasted oak. Amanda Barnes: Violets and black pepper rise with juicy berry fruit. Vibrancy and freshness with a touch of oak spice. Great varietal and regional typicity. Vincenzo Arnese: Elegant, aromatic and fresh. The nose shows crisp raspberry and redcurrant, while the palate is round with well integrated tannins. Great style. Ben Gubbins: Pronounced nose with a faint pepper note alongside intense blue and red fruits. Quite rich on the palate, very smooth, finishing on a leafy note.”
