Artesana is a small production single vineyard estate winery in the acclaimed Canelones region of Uruguay specializing in Tannat, Tannat blends and Zinfandel, the only Zinfandel produced in Uruguay. Made with the highest quality estate-grown fruit, Artesana’s iconic wines showcase Uruguay’s distinctive terroir and its signature varietal Tannat. Artesana is the first American-owned winery in Uruguay, partnered with two award-winning Uruguayan women winemakers.
Uruguay produces dynamic and award-winning wines of outstanding quality. Differing from its South American counterparts, Uruguay is a country of small-scale, family-owned wineries with a European winemaking tradition. The coastal-Atlantic climate is often compared to Bordeaux’s, producing wines with well-balanced levels of alcohol and acidity. Tannat, brought from France in the 1870s, is the flagship varietal of Uruguay and produces rich, full-bodied wines with ripe fruit flavors and an exotic, spicy character.
Twenty acres of the 80-acre parcel is planted to Tannat, Merlot and Zinfandel, the first of it kind to be planted in Uruguay. Sustainable, low-input, dry farming is practiced using the IPM program (Integrated Pest Management). Vines are meticulously tended and pruned to produce low yield, highly concentrated fruit and field-select hand harvested. Wines are made in small lots fermented separately, aged in the highest quality French and American oak, custom-blended, and bottled without fining or filtration. Our small-scale production gives us complete control over every aspect of winegrowing and winemaking. Artesana wines are sold in select wine shops and restaurants in Uruguay, the US and Europe.
The winery is located in Las Brujas, Canelones just 30 minutes from Montevideo and is open to the public for tours, tastings and lunches. Please contact turismo@artesanawinery.com. For US sales information, please contact lfellows@artesanawinery.com.
