Castel Pujol Folklore Tinto

The Carrau family has always been at the forefront of innovation in winemaking, and in 1979 introduced in Uruguay the idea of using Tannat grapes to create a unique red wine style. In 1997 Dr. Francisco Carrau, the 9th generation, designed and led the construction of one of the first gravity fed wineries in South America inside a flat-top hill in the estate, at 1,000 feet above sea level.

The Castel Pujol ‘Folklore’ line is the vision of 10th generation daughter Pia Carrau, who is bringing minimal intervention practices to their sustainable, low-energy, gravity-flow winery.
