More information about Km.0 Gran Reserva Viognier 2018
This Km.0 Gran Reserva Viognier is the most sophisticated white wine from Bodega Familia Irurtia. A terroir-driven wine full of character with aromas of peach, tart apricot, some white pepper and tropical fruit. There are also present and creamy notes of vanilla and toast from the barrique ageing. High complexity, balanced acidity. This Viognier is our only white wine matured in barriques and, in our opinion, an inspiration with an individual varietal expression. The ageing in wood gives the Viognier power and a long finish. The Uruguay and Paraná rivers meet on the coast of Carmelo. This is also the location of "Km.0", kilometer zero of the Silver River, the Rio de la Plata, under whose special climatic influence this excellent wine matures on limestone soils.

Bodega Familia Irurtia
The Familia Irurtia winery was founded over a hundred years ago by Dante Irurtia and is therefore a true family business. Over the past decades, the company has had a lasting influence on the wine industry in Uruguay and today earns worldwide recognition for its premium wines. At the same time, every single bottle reflects the high art of winegrowing in 4 generations and is therefore something very special. This large winery is already 340 hectares in size, making it one of the largest in the country. But this does not diminish the cordiality that one encounters when visiting this winery. On the contrary, this is where rivers and friends meet and you feel immediately welcome. The "Km.0", the kilometer zero of the silver river, the Rio de la Plata, lies under special climatic influence on limestone soils - and here the excellent wines of this winery ripen.
