We close out the Uruguay 2023 series today with coverage of the Uruguay Wine in London tasting held on Fri 24 March 2023 at London’s iconic 67 Pall Mall. The day kicked off with a tasting of Uruguay Wine led by Amanda Barnes, South America Expert and author of the South America Wine Guide. Followed by Masterclasses for an invited group of journalists.

Today, we first welcome Amanda to give her high-level reflections on Uruguay and the challenges of selecting wines for the trade tasting, before bringing you words from the winemakers themselves.

Next talking to the masterclass and its surprising mix of wines and styles. Closing with reflections from the invited journalists.

A fantastic resource if you weren’t able to attend the tasting or if you simply want to learn more about the current state of Uruguay Wine from those in the know . Enjoy!

We kick things off today in the company of Sam Filler and Justin Jackson of New York Wine and Grape Foundation. Firstly, Executive Director Sam Filler sets the scene, outlining the long-standing sustainability credentials that New York grape growers can proudly lay claim to. Music to my ears, given its focus on the growers and ultimately making their the local industry more equitable for them and therefore a more sustainable industry. Sam also sharing a personal example of the often unseen impacts of chemical interventions within the vineyard on biodiversity.
