The sparkling wine lines are Viña Edén (USD 45) and Pueblo Edén (USD 24), and<br />
the sales strategy includes both the domestic market and exports. In Uruguay, the<br />
products are available in specialised stores, selected restaurants, on the <strong>web</strong>site<br />
(www.vinaeden.com) and at the winery. The sparkling wines are exported to Brazil,<br />
the United Kingdom, Spain, Argentina and Mexico.<br />
Viña Edén owns 7 hectares planted to Tannat, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Marselan and<br />
Chardonnay, and is currently adding a new Cabernet Franc vineyard, which will<br />
increase its total area to 9 hectares. It uses renewable energy in all its processes.<br />
Over 80% of the energy consumed is renewable, which has led to government<br />
recognition for its energy efficient practices and measures. “Uruguay has a long<br />
history of winemaking, but Viña Eden wanted to do something different, so its<br />
founders travelled to hundreds of wineries around the world to establish an innovative<br />
and disruptive venture. The winery’s concept has always been based on three<br />
fundamental pillars: quality wine, wine tourism and sustainability and these have<br />
accompanied the entire process through to this day”, concludes Viña Edén.<br />
