About The Wine
Arriving in Uruguay with Basque settlers in the 19th century, Tannat’s a red grape with thick skins, offering perfect protection from the wet Atlantic winds.
Garzon’s stunning winery and restaurant are just inland from the coast, with a range of reds perfectly matched to star Argentinian chef Francis Mallman’s open fire cooking.
With its approachable flavours of dusty dark cherry, bramble and spice this is well judged and supple, with just enough structure.
About Bodega Garzon
Established in 2010 by Argentinian Alejandro Bulgheroni, Bodega Garzon has changed the landscape of Uruguayan wine.
With accomplished winemaking consultant Alberto Antonini adding his guidance, it is an ambitious, world class project doing big things to build the profile of this little South American country’s rich winemaking heritage.
Working chiefly with its celebrated red grape Tannat, the wet, windy Atlantic influence has also inspired significant plantings of the white Albarino.

Critic Reviews
"Very dark crimson, almost black at the core. Dark fruit that is ripe yet counterbalanced by a lovely stone-dust freshness. This has become more refined and complex since I tasted it in embryonic form 18 months ago. There is still a rich foundation of black fruit but also a touch of pepper and a delicate floral character, or perhaps it is lavender. Still plenty of firm and very fine tannins, juicy too and persistent. This is now at a perfect moment for drinking, especially with food, but is clearly going to continue to age well, and longer than I first thought. The oak has died back to reveal the key components of this wine: the fresh dark fruit, the super-fine but shaping tannins and that mineral quality that adds more freshness.'' - Julia Harding (Jancis Robinson)
"Dark berries with blanched almonds and violets on the nose. Medium to full body. Fine, integrated tannins and a silky texture. Lovely length and juiciness." - James Suckling (James Suckling)

Do we price match? Yes, within reason. Everyday low & consistent pricing is something we strongly believe in. We want our customers to feel confident they are always getting the best price. If you see a price lower somewhere else let us know and we'll consider matching it. We'll even retrospectively issue you store credit if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.
Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
Can I special order a wine you do not sell? If it’s doable, then we’ll make it happen. Just contact us directly via phone, chat or email and we’ll find out for you right away. Please note that in most cases special orders such as these will need to be in full case lots (6 or 12 bottles).
