MORE INFORMATION
Bodega Bouza Riesling – Pan de Azúcar 2023
From the granite slopes of Pan de Azúcar in Maldonado, this 2023 Riesling captures Uruguay’s Atlantic precision at its finest. Grown near the coast, where ocean breezes temper warm days and cool nights preserve natural acidity, Bouza’s Riesling expresses clarity, tension, and mineral depth in every glass.
The nose opens with lifted aromas of lime zest, white peach, green apple, and delicate jasmine. On the palate, it is dry and vibrant — citrus-driven, stone-fruited, and carried by a crisp saline edge that reflects the coastal influence of southeastern Uruguay. There is energy here, but also restraint: clean lines, focused acidity, and a long, mineral finish that feels refreshing rather than sharp.
This is Riesling with structure and poise — not sweet, not flashy, but beautifully balanced and quietly expressive of place.
Why This Riesling Stands Out
• Grown on granite-rich soils of Pan de Azúcar
• Atlantic-cooled climate preserves acidity and aromatic lift
• Dry style with precision and mineral tension
• Crafted by one of Uruguay’s most respected family wineries
• A benchmark for modern Uruguayan white wine

The Bouza Philosophy
Founded in the late 1990s and rooted in meticulous vineyard management, Bodega Bouza has become one of Uruguay’s most acclaimed producers. Their Pan de Azúcar vineyard highlights granite soils rarely seen at this scale in South America, giving this Riesling its signature mineral clarity and coastal edge.

About This Wine
Where does this wine come from?
Pan de Azúcar, Maldonado, Uruguay. Grown in Bouza’s Pan de Azúcar vineyard in Maldonado, this 100% Riesling reflects a rocky, low-fertility site with excellent drainage. The grapes were harvested by hand, carefully selected and aged in bottle for more than 12 months, preserving the wine’s vivid acidity while allowing its fruit and texture to become more expressive.
