Familia Traversa - Uruguay
Sixty years and three generations of hard work has created Traversa’s quality wines. Dedication and development has led the winery and our vineyards to be recognized nationwide as a producer of iconic Uruguayan wine. At slightly more than 240 hectares, other vineyards are also sourced and managed directly for great harmony with the estate fruit. The wines are made with the highest technology winemaking and strict production control. We harvest at the optimum moment, use select yeasts and American and French oak barrels.
