A short boat ride from Buenos Aires sits some uncharted wine territory. Uruguay is slowly changing its reputation in the wine world or lack there of. In recent years innovations and experiments in wine have concentrated their small production into a potent little operation.
Rather than making several simple table wines for domestic consumption Uruguay aims to cultivate a boutique movement and plow its way into the wine international scene.
According to a recent article by Paola Singer http://www.thestreet.com/
A few people may have tried Uruguay’s signature grape, Tannat. This hearty wine when done right offers a rich luxurious red perfect for grilled lamb. Other produces are experimenting with Sauvignon Blanc, Petit Verdot, and Merlot.
Uruguay less than 300 wineries and promotes wine tourism on their wine trail, Los Caminos del Vino. www.uruguaywinetours.com My next trip across the border might be to explore the flourishing wine scene.
A focus on limited production boutique wine sounds familiar….
That’s right! And yeah, Anuva already has a few bottles lined up for our next in company tasting. For those interested in try Uruguay’s signature grape check out the Channarmuyo Estate Tannat in our collection. https://www.anuvawines.com/
