Giant Steps Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2024

A 50/50% mix of upper and lower Yarra estate and grower fruit. 30% whole bunches. A very bright crimson purple. Pretty and complex with aromas of red cherry skins and rhubarb together with some pink peppercorn spice and a light savoury edge. More approachable than the ’23. As a young wine, the medium-bodied palate is spicy, silky and long. It’ll probably age well but it’s so good to drink now that there’s no need to bother! Drink from: 2025. Drink by: 2030. Special Value. (Philip Rich,winecompanion.com.au,April 29, 2024)
