A Reserva Albariño from Bodega Garzón in Uruguay — pale yellow with greenish reflections, with fruity peach and citrus aromas, fresh and mineral on the palate with a marked acidity and a long, rounded aftertaste, from the only country outside Galicia where Albariño has found a genuinely compelling second home.
Tasting Notes
Pale yellow with greenish reflections. Fruity aromas recalling peach, balanced with citric notes. Fresh and mineral with a marked acidity and a long, rounded aftertaste in the mouth. Aged 3 to 6 months on fine lees in stainless steel tanks — the lees contact adds a subtle creamy texture without sacrificing the variety's characteristic freshness. Uruguay's terroir gives the Albariño a mineral and saline character reminiscent of the Galician Atlantic coast.
