Uruguay

Discover everything you need to <strong>live a unique experience in Uruguay</strong>. This Latin American country has 19 departments and 89 municipalities. Its capital city is Montevideo, a city whose metropolitan area includes more than a million and a half inhabitants. Uruguay’s climate is mild with abundant rainfalls almost all year long; these features favour harvests. In fact, the <strong>wine production</strong> <strong>in the country</strong> has over 9,000 hectares of land. Tannat red wine grape variety has become the country’s emblem, which is the biggest producer of this variety of French origin. However, there are other varieties in the market, such as Merlot, Cabernet, Malbec and white varieties Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Sémillon. The elaboration of the Uruguayan wine follows traditional guidelines, with wine producers passing the good wine practices from generation to generation. The country is little by little working on the oenology and oenotourism world, since its wine production started 250 years ago and the implantation process is as soft as the aftertaste of its wines.
