Introduction:
The 2023 Bodega Garzón Pinot Noir Rosé is a refined and refreshing expression of Uruguay’s Atlantic-influenced terroir. Crafted from estate-grown Pinot Noir, this rosé balances delicate aromatics with vibrant acidity and mineral precision. Designed in a dry, Provençal-inspired style, it highlights freshness, elegance, and coastal character while maintaining New World clarity and consistency.

Terrior:
Sourced from vineyards in Maldonado near Uruguay’s southeastern Atlantic coastline, the vines are planted on ancient decomposed granite soils with low fertility and excellent drainage. The maritime climate—characterized by warm sunny days, cooling ocean breezes, and significant diurnal shifts—preserves acidity and aromatic purity. The 2023 growing season allowed for steady ripening, producing Pinot Noir with bright fruit concentration and crisp structural balance. The granite soils contribute subtle minerality and a faint saline undertone reflective of the coastal proximity.

Appearance:
Pale salmon pink with delicate copper reflections, brilliant and crystalline, evoking a classic dry rosé aesthetic.

Nose:
Fresh and lifted aromatics of wild strawberry, red currant, and white cherry lead the bouquet. Floral hints of rose petal and orange blossom intertwine with subtle citrus zest and a light mineral nuance. The aromatic profile is clean, precise, and inviting.

Palate:
Light to medium-bodied with lively, mouthwatering acidity. Flavors of fresh raspberry, watermelon, and pink grapefruit glide across the palate. The texture is silky yet crisp, supported by a mineral streak that adds structure. A subtle herbal edge enhances complexity without overpowering the delicate fruit core.

Finish:
Clean and refreshing, with lingering red berry notes and a faint saline minerality that encourages another sip.

Food Pairings:

• Meat: Grilled salmon, prosciutto-wrapped chicken, or turkey sliders

• Vegetarian: Caprese salad, grilled vegetable skewers, or quinoa with roasted peppers

• Charcuterie Board: Soft goat cheese, mild Manchego, olives, sliced cured ham, and toasted almonds

Overall Impression:
The 2023 Bodega Garzón Pinot Noir Rosé captures the essence of Uruguay’s coastal terroir through delicate red fruit aromatics, crisp acidity, and granite-driven minerality. Its pale hue and refined structure evoke a classic dry rosé style, while vibrant fruit and saline freshness reflect its Atlantic origins. Elegant, balanced, and versatile, this wine pairs beautifully with grilled seafood or light Mediterranean fare and is ideal for warm-weather enjoyment.
