Giant Steps Primavera Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022

Giant Steps Primavera Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022"In true Giant Steps style, the 2022 Single Vineyard release walks the line with swagger and palpable energy. Mel Chester hits it out of the park." Shanteh Wale Giant Steps is recognized as a global benchmark for cool climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The winery was established in 1998, one year after founder Phil Sexton arrived in the Yarra Valley in search of ideal sites to produce Chardonnay and Pinot Noir of purity and finesse. The Giant Steps

only a glorious flow through the mouth dripping in lime cordial

the fruitiness is left a little behind but is as pristine as ever

mid-palate viscosity and integrated mineral acidity

this vineyard is ideal for producing outstanding red varietals

long lees ageing in French barrels and minimal racking

It has excellent depth of colour and flavour with a touch of spicy oak complexity

Needs food

malty Assam black tea and whiffs of sandalwood and rose petal
