Product Information
This beautifully expressive Yarra Valley Pinot Noir is silky, fragrant, and full of life. Aromas of perfumed red cherries, ripe blueberries, and a hint of Campari-like spice lead into a layered, complex palate. Expect a lovely earthiness, with notes of white mushrooms, truffle, and savoury spice, balanced by mocha, cocoa, and a forest floor depth. The fine tannins and bright acidity give it structure and elegance, while the 40% whole-bunch fermentation adds a touch of lift and freshness. This is seriously classy Pinot, with depth, finesse, and an irresistible drinkability. The only issue? There’s never enough of it!
Founded in 1997, Giant Steps has become one of Australia’s most exciting Pinot Noir producers, crafting wines that express the unique terroirs of the Yarra Valley. The winery takes a minimal intervention approach, using hand-picked fruit, indigenous yeasts, and gravity-flow winemaking to ensure the purest expression of site, vintage, and variety. This Pinot Noir is a blend of estate vineyards—Sexton, Applejack, and Tarraford—each contributing its own distinct personality. Aged for eight months in French oak (only 10% new), it offers balance, vibrancy, and serious sophistication. If you love elegant, old-world style Pinot with a modern Australian twist, this is one for you.
