Castillo Viejo Winery: Crafting Exceptional Wines

Situated in the picturesque San José Department, Castillo Viejo Winery spans 54 hectares of lush vineyards, where renowned grape varieties thrive. This Uruguayan winery benefits from a pristine ecosystem, offering unique conditions for producing exceptional wines that reflect the region's character.

A Legacy of Winemaking Excellence

Founded in 1927, Castillo Viejo is now managed by the third generation of the family that started it all. The winery is built on three core principles: artisanal expertise, cutting-edge technology, and rigorous quality management. These elements combine to create exquisite Uruguayan wines that showcase the rich aromas and flavors of the land and the family's winemaking heritage.

Experience the Flavors of Uruguay

The vineyards at Castillo Viejo feature a diverse selection of grape varieties, including Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Viognier, and Tannat. Additionally, some plots are dedicated to sweet Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo, Pinot Noir, and Marselan.

These grapes are handpicked to produce a range of artisanal wines, including red, white, rosé, and sparkling options.

The winery's cellar includes a modern wine laboratory for quality testing, ensuring that each bottle meets high standards. American and French oak barrels are used for aging, adding depth and complexity to the wines. A skilled team of oenologists oversees every stage of production, from fermentation to bottling and maturation.

Local lindo, e atendimento pessoal e de primeira. Quando estivemos por lá, fomos muito bem recebidos pelo guia e pudemos conhecer a Ana, que é proprietária junto aos irmãos do local, uma pessoa adorável. Excelentes vinhos, com repetições e comida muito bem servida. O menu degustação é excelente, apesar da carne ter passado o ponto, nada que atrapalhe ou desmereça a experiência.

Excellent experience. The selection of wines to taste was very good. Raquel, who was the sommelier, was very educational and fun and had great knowledge of the wines presented. The prices are very good for what the establishment offers. A visit to repeat.

The best experience we had on our trip to Uruguay, we did the premium tour with lunch included, everything was perfectly harmonized. The wines are excellent, the explanations from the winemaker Raquel were of the highest level of content. We had the honor of meeting one of the owners of the winery, very friendly and attentive. Certainly a memorable experience!
