Project Description

Preludio

Preludio barrel select Red Wine

In 1992, Preludio was born as Uruguay’s first great age-worthy wine. A high-end blend crafted through a rigorous selection of the finest barrels, it represents the pinnacle of traditional winemaking. The most concentrated grape clusters are handpicked from low-yielding plots, limited to around 40 hectoliters per hectare.

Following classic winemaking methods, Preludio is bottled unfiltered into dark glass bottles sealed with premium natural corks, then returned to the original stone cellar—built by the Jesuits in 1745—for several more months of bottle aging on individual racks.
