Soil - Terroir - Wines ... Bodegas

Uruguay is home to a variety of soils, terroir, strains, micro climates, and internationally awarded wines and bodegas. Even if Uruguay is mainly known for its beef, it is a wine country, and the only one with an Atlantic climate, which has allowed it to develop balanced wines with unique and internationally recognized characteristics. Uruguay, the fourth most important wine-producing country in South America, grows a variety of grapes : Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Chardonnay, Albariño, Pinot Noir, but none more celebrated than Tannat, which has earned Uruguay a recognized place in the world of wine, and innumerable international awards. Over the years Tannat has become the quintessential Uruguayan grape and wine, representing about 40% of the country's entire wine production.

Bodega Oceánica José Ignacio. The real creator of Bodega José Ignacio’s wine is our land " Marcelo Conserva & Natalia Welker " owners of Bodega José Ignacio. Our vines grow on the soft hills of clay soil that overlie a crystalline basement, constantly aired by the oceanic breeze, a vital element that nurtures the healthy development of our fruits and the palatable acidity of our wines. The vineyards are located less than five hundred meters away from the winery. All wine-making processes are handmade with great care and detail. The knowledge of a valuable oenologist who acts as interpreter of the fruit essence and brings out the best of each grape, joins our passion to produce excellence in wines that express a great sense of oceanic origin. Bodega Oceanica’s philosophy is based on conveying a sense of place; from our land’s soul directly to your wineglass. A small winery that offers great wines. A Must Visit Bodega !!!

Viña Edén. Our vineyards sit on Pueblo Eden’s rocky mountains slopes. The mineral character of our soils and it’s oceanic influence create the ideal conditions for the sustainable production of unique wines. Just minutes away from Punta del Este, on the panoramic Route 12, which is born in the Atlantic and makes its way across the mountains, you will find Viña Eden, a naturally beautiful place to live an extraordinary experience. The winery was designed in 3 levels aiming at using the force of gravity to contribute to the movements of grapes and wine in the different production stages. The process starts at the highest level where grapes are received and processed, and finishes with wine maturing and aging in our cellar, nestled in the hill´s stone, which offers ideal light, temperature and moisture conditions. The mineral character of our soils and the oceanic influence, form the ideal conditions for the creation and sustainable production of unique wines.
