2019 Giant Steps Pinot Noir

Predominately sourced from Giant Steps Yarra Valley vineyards, this years blend also includes 8.5% Pinot Noir from Giant Steps Tosq organic vineyard in Central Otago, New Zealand which adds a touch of structure. 40% whole bunches were included in the ferment with maturation taking place in French oak of which 10% was new for a period of 8 months.

Semi translucent bright dark red colour with black tinged edges and a light vibrant red hue. Perfumed scents of violets, dark cherries, ripe strawberries and anise sail out of the glass followed by light forest floor, dried clove and spice notes. Delicious red to dark fruits fill the mouth, spreading their way across the breadth of the palate with terrific power. Elements of anise, subtle forest floor and spicy clove also chime in. Lively finish with velvety tannins and a long, very moreish aftertaste.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 13.5%
