Bouza Albariño 2022

Juan and Elisa Bouza established their winery in 2000 by restoring a historic winery originally built in the 1940’s by Numa Pesquera in the outskirts of Montevideo.

Over the last ten years Bouza has established itself as Uruguay’s most critically acclaimed producer.

Uruguay’s temperate, Atlantic influenced climate sees four distinct seasons and temperatures rarely exceed 93 degrees.

Bouza’s Winemaker, Dr. Eduardo Boido, is considered Uruguay’s authority on all things Tannat.

This Albariño started as a bit of an experiment for Bouza and has quickly turned into one of the winery’s most sought after bottlings – It is the “go to” stylish white wine of cultural hotspot Punta del Este.

The cuttings planted in this vineyard come from the rural plots of Bouza family relatives in Rias Biaxas, Spain.

Grapes are sourced from colder, less exposed blocks in their Melilla and Las Violetas vineyards.

90% of the wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks with the remaining 10% fermenting in French oak barrels. Aged 4 months over its lees. Unfiltered and unfined.
