Growing Conditions

The uniqueness of this vineyard lies in its southern orientation, assuring shelter from intense sun and direct exposure from the ocean breeze. This heightens the vibrant minerality of the varietal. Thanks to the coastal climate and with a terroir similar to those found in Galicia, Spain, in Bodega Garzón we decided to plant the Albariño variety, which has become the icon of Uruguayan white wines. The singularity of this wine lies in its southwards orientation. It ensures the protection from the intense sun and is directly exposed to the oceanic breeze, which stresses the vibrant minerality of our Albariño Single Vineyard 2016.
