Garzón Albariño Reserva is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of winemaking, hailing from the idyllic coastal region of Uruguay. This particular varietal, Albariño, traditionally associated with the Rías Baixas region in Spain, finds a unique expression in Uruguay’s terroir. The wine is cultivated at Bodega Garzón, an estate that has carved out a niche for itself through sustainable viticulture and innovative techniques.
The microclimate of the region imparts distinctive characteristics to this wine. Ocean breezes and mineral-rich soils contribute to its complexity and minerality. Upon tasting, one immediately notes the vibrant acidity that is harmoniously balanced with a medium body. The palate is greeted with an array of citrus notes—think lime zest and grapefruit—complemented by subtle hints of white peach and nectarine.
A hallmark of Garzón Albariño Reserva is its aging process; it spends several months on lees which bestows upon it a creamy texture that elegantly rounds out the crispness without overwhelming the inherent freshness of the grape.
