Bodegas Cerro Chapeu
Bodegas Cerro Chapeu operates in Rivera, Uruguay's northernmost wine region, where continental conditions and elevation shape distinctive expressions of local and international varieties. The winery's portfolio centers on Tannat, the dark-skinned grape that defines Uruguayan red wine. The Ysern Tannat demonstrates the variety's structure and depth in this terroir. Alongside darker wines, Cerro Chapeu explores white and sparkling expressions: the Castel Pujol Folklore Blanco blends Malvasia and Trebbiano into a dry white, while the Castel Pujol Folklore Pet-Nat applies the ancestral method to the same varieties, creating a lightly carbonated wine. Decanter has rated the winery's output, affirming its technical execution across categories.
