Located 11 miles from the Atlantic coast amongst lush hillsides, palm trees, and olive groves, Bodega Garzon was a dream come true for founders Alejandro and Bettina Bulgheroni, who established the estate in 1999. Working alongside winemaker Alberto Antonini, they produce wines that embody the distinct personality and elegance of Uruguayan viticulture. This red is 100% Marselan, a hybrid varietal originally from France, though it has taken quite well to Uruguay’s temperate climate and ancient granite soils. We get lots of ripe dark fruit on the nose and palate that mingle with notes of red berries, cocoa, and a clean, gravelly minerality. Fine, well integrated tannins give the wine lovely structure and a rustic edge. Give this wine 45 minutes to an hour for best results.
