Uruguay

Bordered by Argentina to the west, the River Plate to the south and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, Uruguay's climate has a lot in common with the Atlantic vineyards of Europe from Bordeaux to Galicia.

The maritime climate and high humidity are unique in South America and the 300 or so small boutique-style wineries also have lots in common with the small estates of France, providing hand crafted character and individuality to each of their wines. A change to low yields and investment in knowledge, vineyards and wineries make this the perfect time to try the unique wines of Uruguay.
