Bodega Garzon Balasto 2018 Vintage

Bodega Garzón’s Balasto is a prestigious wine that embodies the essence of Uruguay’s terroir. This exceptional red blend is often crafted from a selection of the finest grapes, typically including Tannat, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, which together offer a harmonious and complex profile.
The wine’s name, Balasto, pays homage to the unique ballast soil found in the Garzón region, characterized by its granite-based composition with excellent drainage. This soil type plays a crucial role in the development of the vines, contributing to the concentrated flavours and aromatic intensity of the grapes.
Crafted with meticulous care, Bodega Garzón’s Balasto undergoes fermentation in concrete vats followed by ageing in oak barrels, which adds to its complexity and depth while respecting the varietal’s characteristics. This careful process ensures that each bottle is a true expression of its origin, reflecting the distinctive qualities of the Garzón terroir.
