Bodega Garzón Reserva Albariño 2021
From the pioneering Bodega Garzón in Maldonado, Uruguay, the Reserva Albariño 2021 is a vibrant white reflecting Atlantic-influenced terroir. Crafted from 100% Albariño, sourced from granite and schist soils near Punta del Este, it’s hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel. Aged 3–6 months on fine lees, it offers a pale straw hue with greenish reflections and crisp elegance.
Winemaking Process
Garzón’s sustainable practices shine in this wine. The 2021 vintage undergoes gentle pressing and cool fermentation in stainless steel to preserve varietal purity. Aging on fine lees for 3–6 months enhances texture without oak influence, creating a fresh, mineral-driven Albariño with bright acidity and a rounded finish, ideal for showcasing Uruguay’s coastal freshness.
Tasting Notes

The nose reveals lime zest, green apple, and white peach, with hints of floral notes, saline minerality, and chalk. On the palate, it’s light-bodied and refreshing, with zesty acidity, citrusy fruit, and a clean, slightly salty finish.
