Region: Italy, Friuli-Venizia-Giulia 

Grape variety: Pinot Grigio 

Tasting notes: This straw-coloured wine has golden reflections. To the nose, it gives off pronounced floral scents that become fruity, recalling the flavour of apple and ripened pear. The palate will find this wine soft and engulfing as it wisely combines good body with pleasantly acidic nervature, which provides for fresh drinkability. 

Pronounced florality that subsides for apple and pear fruity notes. Unlike many Pinots, this has a good amount of weight and concentration that works in tandem with a measured acidity.

Region: Uruguay

Grape variety: Pinot Grigio

Background: Bodega Garzón is close to Punta del Este, La Barra, and Jose Ignacio – Uruguayan Paradise at its best, with mesmerizing landscapes. Located eleven miles from the Atlantic Ocean, our estate has more than 1,000 small vineyard blocks covering its hillside slopes, which benefit from varying microclimates, different levels of humidity, and an intense canopy management. These factors allow the vines to develop with maximum exposure to the sun providing rich, expressive fruit. The vineyards are surrounded by lush forests, rocky soils, granite boulders, and naturally occurring palm trees. 

Tasting notes: Light straw gold in colour. The wine is decidedly complex and vibrant, with an appealing, fresh acidity. The bouquet is full of fruit and intense aromatics, reminiscent of white pulp fruit such as pear and apple. As you sip, the flavours unfold to reveal guava, quince, and even a faint almond taste.
