Description
Experience the Bodega Garzón Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022, a remarkable expression of Uruguay’s rich terroir from the celebrated Garzón estate. Nestled just 11 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, this unique red wine is crafted from meticulously cultivated 100% Pinot Noir grapes, grown in the estate's rocky, granitic soils that significantly enhance its character.
This vintage showcases:
- Origin: Maldonado, Uruguay
- Alcohol by Volume (ABV): 12.5%
- Closure: Natural Cork
- Bottle Size: 75cl
- Sweetness: Dry
The 2022 vintage is marked by a cold winter that promoted uniform budbreak, followed by a dry spring which required careful irrigation to nurture healthy fruit development. The warm summer, infused with ample sunlight, led to perfectly ripe grapes, resulting in a wine that is both bright and elegant. Each phase of its production, from hand harvesting to maceration and fermentation in cement tanks before a lengthy maturation in French oak barrels, contributes to its complexity.
The sensory profile of this Pinot Noir is captivating:
- Nose: An aromatic bouquet of dark cherries, wild raspberries, and delicate rose petals tied together with subtle warming spices.
- Palate: Silky texture with vibrant red fruit flavors, layers of earthiness, and a smooth mocha finish balanced by lively acidity.
- Finish: A lingering experience with mineral undertones, graceful tannins, and a gentle warmth that invites further sipping.
This Pinot Noir is best enjoyed when served slightly chilled, at a temperature between 13-15°C (55-59°F). For optimal aroma release, use large balloon-shaped glasses that allow for gentle swirling. Enhance your tastings with wonderful pairings:
- Seared duck breast with cherry or blackberry gastrique for a remarkable flavor contrast
- Roasted beet and goat cheese salad sprinkled with toasted pistachios for a colorful starter
- Creamy mushroom risotto enriched with truffle oil to complement the wine’s elegance
- Peking duck or grilled miso-glazed salmon for an unexpected culinary harmony
The Bodega Garzón Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022 embodies the essence of its vineyard, celebrating the unique terroir of Maldonado. Whether enjoying it on its own or as part of a carefully curated meal, this wine promises an exquisite sipping experience that showcases the excellence of Uruguayan viticulture.

Storage advice
To best store red wine such as Pinot Noir 2022 keep the following conditions in mind:
- Temperature: Maintain a consistent temperature between 55°F and 65°F (12°C to 18°C) ideally around 55°F to 60°F for lighter reds like Pinot Noir. Avoid fluctuations and temperatures above 70°F or below 45°F as they can prematurely age or damage the wine.
- Light exposure: Store the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight and fluorescent lighting as UV light can degrade wine quality by breaking down flavor and aroma compounds.
- Sealing: Keep the bottle sealed with its original cork if unopened. After opening re-cork tightly or use a vacuum wine stopper to minimize oxidation.
- Bottle position: Store bottles horizontally to keep the cork moist. This prevents cork shrinkage and air ingress preserving wine integrity.
- Humidity: Maintain relative humidity between 50% and 70% to prevent cork drying or mold growth on labels and corks. Use a humidifier or dehumidifier as needed depending on your environment.
- Additional tips: For opened bottles refrigeration at about 40-45°F slows oxidation extending the wine’s freshness. Before serving bring it to the ideal drinking temperature (around 60-65°F for Pinot Noir).
These guidelines apply whether storing short-term or aging longer-term ensuring optimal preservation of flavor and aroma.
