When Alejandro Bulgheroni and his wife Bettina discovered Garzón, they had a family dream came true: to have the most emblematic winery and the most modern viticulture in Uruguay, with premium wines of intense character and a deep sense of belonging to the land. With the advice of international enologist Alberto Antonini, the team at Bodegas Garzón apply their philosophy focused on producing wines that are a true expression of their origins.
Close to the Uruguayan Atlantic coast and 160 meters above sea level, the vineyards give a unique quality to the grapes which, along with the temperate weather and the organic practices developed in the vineyard, allow each wine to reflect the authentic personality of the Garzón terroir.
The geology in the Garzón area belongs to what is known as Crystalline Basement sedimentary rock, which gave origin to the oldest soils in the planet over 2.5 billion years ago. When those rocks are broken down through millions of years of geological activity, a fantastic soil of weathered rock is formed, called Ballast. The characteristics of this soil, the tending to individual plots (over 1,000), and the careful management of the harvest, yields fruit of unparallelled quality.
