TASTING NOTES

Mel Chester and crew have gone south to uncover a different style of Pinot; a layered and powerful one with fruit sourced from southern Tasmania.

Coming from a single vineyard, and trucked and sailed across the Bass Strait direct to the Yarra overnight. Made with a variety of tactics - some whole bunch, some whole berry, fermenting in both oak and stainless - you'll find a much deeper and broodier style of Pinot here.

Lots of dark fruit flavours, firm tannin on the sides and a good kick of acidity - serious quality all around and still expresses that signature Giant Steps style. Built for both cellaring or drinking now...

Scores

95/100

From the Nocton vineyard in the Coal River Valley. Hand picked into a refrigerated container by 10.30am to make the boat to the mainland; 20% whole bunches, 35% new barriques. A deep crimson purple. With its aromas dark fruits, sarsaparilla, violets and bay leaf, this is the big personality in the Giant Step's pinot range! Equally flamboyant on the palate, which is richly fruited and balanced with ripe, muscular tannins ensuring this will be long lived, too.
