not like Argentina and Chile - that’s correct, but Uruguay, BETWEEN RIVER AND OCEAN, BETWEEN THE RIVER PLATE AND THE ATLANTIC OCEAN does produce wines of the highest quality...
... rare delights that are produced in small but high quality Bodegas, that are for the most part still in the hands of the founding families. The distinguished wines are produced and matured in small quantities, rather than being the product of an industrialised process.
....Have we been able to capture your attention? If so, we invite you to explore this website and discover, enjoy....
Uruguay, the country of the Tannat grape:
A SELECTION OF THE BEST URUGUAYAN WINES, PAIRED WITH DELICIOUS SNACKS .....
Alexa and Juan, a young couple, opened CORCHOS, a bistro a wine-boutique.
Where? In Montevideo's Downtown, on the street 25 de Mayo, corner Bartolomé Mitre.
At the moment you can get to know a selection of wines from 10 local wineries and in the future there will be constant new incorporations.
The objective of this web-site:
Our objective is to provide a broad introduction to Uruguay and, in particular, to stimulate interest in Uruguayan wine. This web-site is in a state of continuous development and is updated on a regular basis in order to ensure that you are kept fully up to date with developments with respect to Uruguayan wine. We will periodically present selected wines and report on new developments in Uruguayan viticulture , in the hope that we can interest you in returning to the site, and perhaps even adding it to your "favourites“.
We are privileged to have the benefit of the specialist support and input for this site from Professor. Ing. agr. Estela de Frutos. Professor de Frutos is Professor of Viticulture at the Agriculture Faculty of the University of Montevideo, has a degree in viticulture from ETSIA, is Advisor to the Institute of Wine Producers of Uruguay (I.NA.VI) and a member of the committee of judges for international competitions overseen by the O.I.V. / Paris.
