This vineyard is cooler than other blocks on the estate. Steep slopes and thin soils with excellent drainage due to the predominance of ballast in the upper layers. The Tannat is the Uruguayan emblematic stock variety and Garzón is the perfect place for it to thrive thanks to the climate conditions, the special land features and the unique biodiversity. Only 18 kilometres away from the Atlantic Ocean, the constant breeze coming to Garzón’s vineyards impregnates our wines with a unique flavour. The ballast offers a stony and soft soil and allows optimal drainage conditions. These soils are also characterised by their minerality, which helps create a balanced wine
