Giant Steps Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2024

Description

Product Description: Your ticket to top-tier Yarra Pinot without the splurge. The 2024 Giant Steps Yarra Valley Pinot Noir is a masterclass in regional expression—bright, precise, and irresistibly drinkable. Sourced from across the valley, with a strong showing from the cool, high-altitude Upper Yarra vineyards, it’s crafted with the same focus as the acclaimed single vineyard series, just in a more accessible frame. The vintage was fast-moving and compact, with all the fruit picked in just a few weeks. That intensity comes through in the glass: lifted aromatics, vivid fruit and a striking natural balance. Whole bunches bring subtle grip and savoury detail to a wine driven by red cherry, wild strawberry and delicate spice. Versatile and cellar-worthy (if you can resist it), this Pinot is all silk and shape—ideal for duck, mushroom risotto or charcuterie. Tasting Notes NOSE – Bright and lifted Wild strawberry, cherry, and pink pepper with a flick of spice and stemmy crunch. PALATE – Silky and supple Juicy red fruit glides across the palate with polish and poise. FINISH – Fine and savoury Earthy tannin trails out in a gentle, satisfying close. Reviews & Accolades A very bright crimson purple. Pretty and complex with aromas of red cherry skins and rhubarb together with some pink peppercorn spice and a light savoury edge. More approachable than the ’23. As a young wine, the medium-bodied palate is spicy, silky and long. It’ll probably age well but it’s so good to drink now that there’s no need to bother!” – Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion, 95 Points The Finer Details Style – Red Wine Varietal – Pinot Noir Country – Australia Region – Yarra Valley, Victoria Vintage – 2024 Bottle Size – 750ml ABV – 13.5%
