“Handcrafting iconic wines that

acclaimed Canelones region.”
region
Located 30 miles north of Uruguay’s seaside
capital Montevideo, Canelones is the
country’s premier winegrowing region.
vineyard
Artesana’s hand-farmed vineyard is the
exclusive source for its award-winning wines.
20 acres of the 80-acre estate are planted to
Tannat, Merlot and Zinfandel, the only
planting of this variety in Uruguay.
Meticulous vineyard protocol is practiced to
produce low yield, highly concentrated fruit.
winemaking
Artesana wines are made in small lots with
minimal intervention, allowing the character
of the fruit to be expressed. 20-day cool
maceration regimes provide excellent aroma
and flavor extraction. Barrel aging is done in
French and American oak for 12-18 months to
carefully accentuate the flavors of the wines.
Custom blended and bottled without fining or
filtration, wines are bottle aged an additional
6-12 months.
