Garzón Pinot Noir Single Vineyard 2022
Garzón, Maldonado, San José, UruguayAlberto Antonini drives the style here but with very soft hands. You don't feel it but surely appreciate this pinot noir when you sip it. The fruit grows on a high mineral content hill facing north that catches the cool Atlantic Ocean breezes. The vines are pruned to meet low yields before being fermented in concrete tulips. Then, it is off to untoasted 5000 litre French oak vats for 12 to 18 months. Dark cherry and earthy blackberry reminds you of New World pinot, but the persistent elegance lets you know it's made by folks who care for it, from vineyard to winery to bottle. A touch of tannins gives it enough structure to age through 2027 with ease. A complex pinot that surprises you every sip.Tasted: 29 December 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| CDN | $53.00 | 750ml | estimated retail |
