In the Glass — Tasting Notes

A pale, greenish-tinged white that arrives crisp and alive. Peach and lemon peel sing through with floral honeysuckle undertone, while a mineral spine and well-calibrated acidity deliver brightness and precision. The wine's thick-skinned character and ocean-fresh energy make it sing rather than merely refresh.

The Winery — Bodega Garzón

A family-owned estate in Maldonado on Uruguay's Atlantic coast, Bodega Garzón pioneered viticulture in this region and earned Wine Enthusiast's New World Winery of the Year award in 2018. The winery sources from over 1,000 meticulously chosen vineyard blocks, each selected for its unique soil and microclimate. The 2025 vintage benefited from ideal spring temperatures and stable summers, allowing the Albariño to ripen with exceptional clarity. Hand-harvested grapes were gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperatures to preserve primary aromas, then aged on lees for three to six months. The estate operates with sustainability at its core, using gravity-fed systems and cutting-edge technology for energy efficiency.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

Albariño's high acidity and thick skins have made it the Atlantic white of choice for seafood, and this reserve exemplifies why. Grilled fish, oysters, ceviche, lobster and mussels all find themselves lifted and complemented by this wine's energy. It pairs beautifully with salads, light dishes, vegetarian fare, and raw fish. This ocean-fresh white deserves a place on your weeknight table, your Sunday lunch spread, or as a summer aperitivo.
