Garzon Estate Viognier De Corte 2020
Country/Region of Origin: Uruguay

Region: Uruguay

Grape variety: Viognier

Background: Bodega Garzón is close to Punta del Este, La Barra, and Jose Ignacio – Uruguayan Paradise at its best, with mesmerizing landscapes. Located eleven miles from the Atlantic Ocean, our estate has more than 1,000 small vineyard blocks covering its hillside slopes, which benefit from varying microclimates, different levels of humidity, and an intense canopy management. These factors allow the vines to develop with maximum exposure to the sun providing rich, expressive fruit. The vineyards are surrounded by lush forests, rocky soils, granite boulders, and naturally occurring palm trees.

Tasting notes: This wine has a firm acidity with unparalleled aromatics of honeysuckle, green apple, and ripe pear. Flavours of dried apricot and white peach add to its lushness, while the steely minerality adds a refreshing element. In the mouth, it is juicy with an unctuous quality, making it an elegant wine with an intense finish.
