In Uruguayan soil, Albariño stands out for its freshness, elegance, and intense fruit aromas. Its natural acidity and balanced alcohol content give rise to vibrant wines that are ideal for pairing with seafood, shellfish, and light dishes—making it a perfect match for Uruguay’s coastal gastronomy.
Although we had no doubts about the potential of a place like this, in the world of wine production, until you see the final result, it is difficult to predict what the level of quality will be. And we were really surprised at how well [Albariño] has adapted to the terroir of Garzón.Owner Alberto Antonini
Bodega Garzón has played a key role in positioning Albariño as a benchmark for Uruguayan white wines. Labels like Albariño Reserva and Albariño Single Vineyard have gained international recognition for their aromatic complexity, elegance, and unique expression of place.
Today, Albariño is not only a symbol of freshness and sophistication, but also a testament to Uruguay’s potential in producing world-class white wines—beyond its already famous reds.
Originally from Galicia, Spain, the Albariño grape has traveled far to become one of the world’s most distinguished white wine varieties. In Uruguay—particularly in the Garzón region—it has found an ideal terroir that allows it to fully express its character and quality.
While some legends say Cistercian monks brought Albariño to Galicia in the 12th century, today it is firmly rooted in the northwest of Spain and northern Portugal, where it is known as Alvarinho. Its ability to thrive in coastal climates, with early budding and late ripening, makes it perfect for regions with Atlantic influence—just like Uruguay.
