Lahusen Riesling 2024
Some wines feel like they belong to a season. This one feels like it belongs to a place.
Grown among the rolling hills and ancient riverbeds of Los Cerros de San Juan, Uruguay's oldest winery, the Lahusen Riesling 2024 offers a refreshing glimpse into a wine story most people have never heard. The grape arrived here more than 80 years ago with the estate's German founders, and today it continues to thrive between the San Juan River and Río de la Plata, where persistent breezes and rocky soils help preserve its remarkable freshness.
Bright and energetic, the wine opens with aromas of white fruit, fresh-cut grass, and citrus. On the palate, vibrant natural acidity carries flavors of crisp orchard fruit and mineral notes through a clean, refreshing finish that lingers long after the glass is set down.
This is the kind of wine that shines with seafood, sushi, shellfish, and sunny afternoons shared with friends. Fresh, lively, and quietly distinctive, it captures both the heritage of one of Uruguay's most historic estates and the discovery that makes Uruguayan wine so rewarding.
