South American wines from Uruguay

When you think of South American wine, Uruguay isn't the first thing that comes to mind. It's mainly the wines from Argentina and Chile that enjoy a certain global reputation. But don't dismiss Uruguayan wines just yet: the vineyards in this country are located at the same latitude as those in Chile and, for example, South Africa. The location is therefore perfect. The wines are too: just try the wines from Bodega Carrau!

Bodega Carrau has a long history. It's a true family business, now run by the 9th and 10th generations. The family still produces according to the vision of founder Juan Carrau in the 18th century. What's remarkable is that Bodega Carrau originated as a Spanish winery. As early as the 18th century, Bodega Carrau exported from Spain to the rest of the world. However, the economic depression of the 1930s prompted the family to make a fresh start in Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay. From there, the empire continued to expand.
