Castel Pujol "Folklore" Blanco 2025

This blend of Italian varieties is light and fresh with aromas of jasmine, honeysuckle, white peach, grapefruit, green apple and intriguing herbal and floral notes. The palate offers gentle acidity with subtle flavors of lemon, peach, pear and saline minerality that extend into a pithy finish.

70% Trebbiano and 30% Malvasia. The hand-harvested grapes are farmed in deep, sandy red soils of alluvial origin, derived from volcanic materials washed down over millions of years to form iron-rich sediment characterized by great depth and excellent drainage. The Trebbiano and Malvasía clusters are destemmed and pressed separately. Alcoholic fermentation then takes place using indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks over a period of six months to allow for natural clarification. The wine is bottled unfiltered, with minimal handling to preserve its full freshness.

Bodega Cerro Chapeu was launched in 1975 by the Carrau family of Cerro Chapeu after starting one of the first vineyard reconversions in the country. The vineyards are located in the red, deep and sand soils of Cerro Chapeu, on the border line between Uruguay and Brazil. Their philosophy is low intervention winemaking in balance with the environment.

The gravity-based winery was built within a hill in 1997, and by combining innovative oenological techniques with the family experience that characterizes Cerro Chapeu, the result is truly unique wine. The Castel Pujol "Folklore" line aims to continue that innovation through alternative vinification methods applied to various grapes sourced from the Cerro Chapeu vineyards.
