Albarino

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.

Aging: 3 to 6 months on the lees in Stainless Steel Tanks
Tasting Notes: Pale yellow with greenish reflections, this Albariño is intense in the nose, with peach and citrus notes. The freshness and minerality mid-palate are superb, with remarkable acidity and a round, crisp finish.

Food Pairing: Excellent pairings for this wine are cod with cockles, citrus prawn salad, or traditional grilled seafood with warm mango salad and beans. It is delightfully well suited to Asian food, Peruvian ceviche, or a fresh tuna salad.

Rgion: Spain, Rias Baixas

Background: Hardly surprising as this little beauty is from Albariño's home Rías Baixas.

Hailing from the cool Val do Salnés, a commune described by Decanter Magazine as the "true identity of Rías Baixas Albariño".

Tasting Notes: The Medusa is bursting with peach, citrus peel and a whiff of sea air. Textured, fresh and rounded wine which is dry and not too sharp, with citrus and apple peel notes on the nose.
