Giant Steps Pinot Noir Sexton Vineyard 2015

Red
Yarra Valley, Australia

Silky and refined, with crushed strawberry and rose petal aromatics lifted by white pepper and wet stone minerality. The 40% whole cluster fermentation shows in the wine's savory complexity and fine-grained structure. Red fruit concentration builds through the mid-palate, gaining spice cake richness while maintaining poise. Beautiful integration already, though another 3-5 years will reveal even more nuance.

Giant Steps

Giant Steps is one of the Yarra Valley's benchmark chardonnay producers, working a range of single-vineyard sites across the appellation to make wines of precision and site distinction rather than a house style imposed from above.
