Giant Steps Single Vineyard Applejack Vineyard Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2022
95 Points - Wine Enthusiast. Silky, site-driven Pinot Noir from the cool reaches of the Yarra Valley, shaped by precision viticulture and a light touch in the cellar. Sourced from a single vineyard, this is a pure expression of place, fine-boned, aromatic and quietly complex, with an emphasis on clarity over power. Farming is carried out with a strong focus on sustainability, ensuring the vineyard speaks clearly in the glass.
Taste
Bright red cherry and wild strawberry lead, layered with rose petal, subtle spice and a hint of forest floor. The palate is finely textured, with gentle tannins and fresh acidity carrying the fruit through to a long, poised finish. Elegant, savoury and beautifully balanced.
Wine Press Ratings
95 Points - Wine Enthusiast (2022 Vintage)
"Downright sexy from first sniff, Applejack evokes wild raspberries, mulberries, crushed roses, summer herbs and sweet-savory-earthy nuances like hoisin-glazed mushrooms. It glides across the tongue like glycerine, buoyed by the mid-palate with a lick of tart berry acidity, and tugged by savory, cat's tongue tannins."
93 Points - Tim Atkin (2022 Vintage)
“Fragrant and refined, with red berry purity, fine tannins and a beautifully judged, savoury finish.”
