Familia Traversa

Tannat and Bordeaux varieties from Uruguay's maritime capital.

Familia Traversa produces wines from Montevideo, Uruguay's capital region, where Atlantic influences and temperate conditions shape distinctive expressions of Old World varieties and local grapes. The winery's portfolio centers on Tannat, Uruguay's signature red varietal, alongside Cabernet Franc and Syrah—grapes that thrive in the region's maritime climate. The BO Cabernet Franc demonstrates the potential of Bordeaux varieties in this terroir, while the Viña Salort Reserva Syrah-Tannat blend marries international and indigenous grapes into a single wine. Noble Alianza Tannat showcases the variety's characteristic structure and dark fruit. Decanter has rated these wines, affirming their technical merit. The winery's focus on Tannat and complementary varieties reflects both Uruguay's viticultural identity and the specific conditions of Montevideo's growing environment.
