Uruguay means River of Painted Birds in the native language of Guarani. Amongst our rolling hills and thousands of small rivers, birds live freely and fish are abundant. Resting on the Atlantic Ocean between 30º and 35º parallel Uruguay shares the same latitude with the ultimate wine–growing regions of the Southern Hemisphere. The cool weather, rolling hills and maritime climate make it especially fit for the cultivation of the fine grapes. Aristocratic and majestic, the Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the noblest French varieties. Traditional and dominant grape of the great reds from the Medoc in Bordeaux.
