Giant Steps Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2023 750 ml

Description:

100% Pinot Noir sourced from vineyards across the Yarra Valley. The grapes came off the vine with lovely concentration and flavor with great natural acidity and tannin.

'A 50/50 mix of upper and lower Yarra fruit. Fermented with mainly whole berries and matured in French oak (10% new). A bright ruby crimson. Expressive with aromas of satsuma plums, strawberry coulis, fennel seeds and a hint of star anise. With its core of ripe yet well-delineated fruit and firm-ish, balanced tannins, this is more concentrated and muscular than the 2021. It will age well, too, for those that find themselves with a bottle seven to 10 years from now.'
