2022 Bodega Garzon 'Single Vineyard' Pinot Noir
Carmine red in color, this Pinot Noir is bright, elegant, and expressive with aromas of cherry and rose. On the palate, red fruit flavors and a touch of earthiness unfold, complemented by mocha notes from barrel aging. Bodega Garzon's high mineral soil and oceanic breezes impart a distinct character to this wine. Nestled close to Punta del Este, La Barra, and Jose Ignacio, the estate features over 1,000 vineyard blocks on hillside slopes, benefiting from diverse microclimates and intense sun exposure, ensuring rich, expressive fruit.
Blessed with pristine views of the Atlantic, an unspoiled ecosystem, and dusty, charismatic back streets, the Punta del Este zone of Uruguay is very quickly becoming a new Côte d’Azur for discerning travelers of means. Nearby, wine entrepreneur Alejandro Bulgheroni established Bodega Garzón, a sustainable, earth-friendly wine estate, restaurant, and private club. Wind and solar power provide 40% of the property’s energy needs, and world-renowned chef Francis Mallman is the Ambassador and Culinary Director for the estate. Quite simply, no expense has been spared to make this winery a showpiece of the southern hemisphere. Blessed with fast-draining granite sands called “balasto,” these rolling hills are heaven for wine grapes, especially Tannat. We were also thrilled to discover some delightful reds like Petit Verdot and Marselan, as well as award-winning Albariño that is some of the best made outside of Spain. We invite you to experience just how sumptuous and luxurious Uruguayan wine can be!
