Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Uruguayan wine special?
Uruguay is one of the few wine countries truly shaped by the ocean. Cool Atlantic breezes and warm days let the grapes ripen slowly, keeping the wines fresh, balanced, and easy to drink with food. The country is best known for Tannat, its bold but approachable signature red, alongside crisp coastal Albariño and a growing range of elegant whites and sparkling wines. Grown in clay, limestone, and granite soils by mostly small, family run estates, these are wines with real character and a strong sense of place.
What food goes with Uruguayan wine?
Uruguayan wine is made for food, so almost anything goes. Tannat and the other reds are a natural match for grilled meats, burgers, hard cheeses, and rich pasta, true to Uruguay's deep asado, or barbecue, tradition. Crisp whites like Albariño love seafood, salads, and fresh, bright dishes, while rosé and sparkling are easy partners for appetizers, cheese boards, and warm afternoons. When in doubt, pour what you'd happily drink with good company.
How should I store and serve Uruguayan wine?
Store your bottles on their side in a cool, dark place, away from heat and direct light. For serving, reds like Tannat shine slightly below room temperature, around 60 to 65°F, while whites, rosé, and sparkling are best well chilled, around 45 to 50°F. If you can, give the bigger reds a few minutes to open up after pouring. And don't feel you have to save them for a special occasion, these are wines made for the everyday table.
