Familia Deicas
Familia Deicas operates in Progreso, within Canelones, Uruguay's most established wine region. The winery focuses on two grapes that define modern Uruguayan viticulture: Albariño, the aromatic white varietal gaining prominence in South America, and Tannat, the dark-skinned grape native to Southwest France that has become Uruguay's signature red. The Cru D'Exception Albariño demonstrates the potential of white wine production in the region, while Extreme Vineyards Suelo Invertido and Valle De Los Manantiales Tannat showcase the depth and structure Tannat achieves in Uruguayan terroir. Both Decanter and Wine Spectator have rated the winery's portfolio, reflecting its standing among international critics. The wines reflect Canelones' temperate maritime climate and the distinct soil profiles that characterize Progreso's vineyard sites.
