2025 Bodegas Cerro Chapeu Castel Pujol Folklore Carbonica, Uruguay

Castel Pujol Folklore Carbonica 2025 is a vibrant, low-intervention red wine from Uruguay’s Rivera region, crafted using carbonic maceration, a traditional technique that preserves fresh fruit character and creates a lively, aromatic style. Made from organically farmed grapes, this light-bodied expression showcases the playful, natural side of Uruguayan winemaking with bright fruit, floral aromatics, and a refreshing texture. The wine bursts with aromas of fresh red berries, strawberry, cherry, and violets, followed by flavors of juicy raspberry, cranberry, ripe plum, and subtle spice, supported by soft tannins, crisp acidity, and a clean, energetic finish. Its bright and versatile profile makes it an excellent pairing for charcuterie, grilled sausages, roast chicken, burgers, pizza, mushroom dishes, roasted vegetables, fresh cheeses, and lightly spiced Latin or Mediterranean cuisine.
