About This Wine
Where does this wine come from?
Cerro Chapeu, Rivera, Uruguay. Nestled in the rolling red hills of Rivera along Uruguay's northern border with Brazil, Cerro Chapeu is one of the country's most distinctive wine regions. The vineyards are rooted in ancient sandstone soils rich in iron oxide, giving the landscape its unmistakable red color. Warmer days, cool nights, and generations of careful farming create wines with remarkable concentration, freshness, and character. It's a place that feels wonderfully removed from the coast—a frontier of Uruguayan wine where tradition and terroir have quietly shaped exceptional bottles for generations.
