Albariño is an emblematic grape variety from northwestern Spain that has found ideal conditions in Garzón’s terroir to fully express its potential. Proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, granite-based soils, and a cool climate allow for the production of wines with great freshness, marked minerality, and a vibrant aromatic profile. In Uruguay, this variety has become one of the country’s most distinctive and recognized expressions, reaching quality standards that are now endorsed by international critics. Garzón is also the leading producer of Albariño in the Americas.
Petit Clos is a line that reflects extreme attention to detail, meticulous vineyard parcel selection, and a winemaking philosophy focused on the purest expression of terroir. The 2023 Albariño vintage stands out for its balance, precision, and elegance—qualities that were highlighted by Wine Enthusiast critics in its inclusion in the ranking.
This new international recognition reinforces Bodega Garzón’s commitment to excellence, innovation, and the promotion of Uruguayan wine on the world’s most important stages.
