Bodega Garzon
Reserva Albariño
Maldonado, Uruguay, Uruguay

Bright beige gold. Inviting nose of underripe yellow apples and honey. Nose is confirmed on the medium-bodied palate which adds orange rind, wet stone, and firm but approachable acidity. Finish is brief and continues the palate. Excellent South American (Uruguayan) take on Albariño that's a great match for fried foods -- I had mine with KFC -- and winter white wine fare. Drink now through 2026 (but mostly now).

Punches well above its weight. Medium bodied with white peach, lime peel, sea breeze, and slate. Great structure, texture, and acid. From maritime Uruguay. Pair with ceviche.

Aug 24th, 2023Another solid vintage. Bright lemon yellow color. Aromas of orchard fruit, wild flowers and ginger spice. Flavors of peach, green apple, grapefruit, gooseberries and a bit of mineral. Distinctive and pleasant saline note on the medium/plus finish. Crisp acidity and well balanced. Well rounded texture. I thought I may have waited a bit too long to open this wine, but was pleased with how fresh and vibrant it was. Consistently high quality from an excellent producer.
