Bouza Albariño Canelones Uruguay

Canelones Wine Region, Uruguay

Unusual Atlantic-influenced Albariño from Uruguay's Canelones; the grape's maritime affinity from Galicia translates well to Uruguay's similar coastal conditions. Citrus, apricot, white peach, and saline mineral. More tropical than Rías Baixas but with the same refreshing acidity. Curiosity wine proving Uruguay can succeed with multiple varieties.
