Bodega Cerro Chapeu was launched in 1975 by the Carrau family of Cerro Chapeu after starting one of the first vineyard reconversions in the country. The vineyards are located in the red, deep, and sand soils of Cerro Chapeu, on the borderline between Uruguay and Brazil. Their philosophy is the low input winemaking in balance with the environment. The winery built in 1997 within a hill is based on gravity, which together with innovative oenological techniques and the family experience that characterizes Cerro Chapeu, result in unique wines.
