In 1998, the spouses Paula Pivel and Alvaro Lorenzo decided to set up a small winery in the department of Maldonado, in south east Uruguay.
The first vines were planted in the spring of 2001, continuing in the following two years until reaching 8 hectares. The vineyards include Merlot, Tannat, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Viognier varieties.
In the year 2005 the first harvest was obtained, and in 2007 the first wines were released to the market.
For over 70 years, Bodega Marichal has been our boutique family winery. Following our proud family tradition, as well as using the most modern winemaking techniques, we produce Premium Uruguayan wines. Grapes 100% hand picked and a small family winery allow us to obtain every harvest, unique handcrafted wines.
