Albariño Reserva 2022 in the Top 100 of Wine Spectator

For the second time, a wine from Bodega Garzón is included in this prestigious international ranking, being once again the only Uruguayan winery to have a wine among the world’s best 100.

Setting a new milestone, Bodega Garzón’s Albariño Reserva 2022 was selected in the position #52 of the Top 100 ranking that every year American magazine Wine Spectator elaborates, one of the world’s most important magazines in which opinion leaders and referents of the wine industry participate.

Bodega Garzón is the only Uruguayan winery to have a wine selected among the best 100 in the world with its Albariño Reserva 2022, a fresh and mineral wine, whose fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks and concrete vats, and whose maturation is from 3 to 6 months on its fine lees.

Albariño is a grape variety that has found excellent conditions to develop in Garzón. The winery currently has 41 hectares of land used to grow this grape, making it the largest producer of Albariño in all the Americas.

It is the second time that a wine from Bodega Garzón is included in this ranking, since in 2017 the Tannat Reserva 2015 was ranked #41.
