95 Points - Philip Rich
Giant Steps has forged a reputation as one of the Yarra Valley's leading wineries, with their Pinot Noir and Chardonnay consistently among the nation's finest examples. Named 'Winery Of The Year' in the 2025 Halliday Wine Companion, Giant Steps continues to produce some stunning cool-climate wines.
Always one of our most popular Pinot Noir releases of the year, the 2024 Giant Steps Yarra Valley Pinot Noir is a product of a classic Yarra vintage that provided ideal growing conditions. Sourced from vineyards across the Yarra Valley, this latest release delivers impressive vibrancy and approachability, with excellent fruit concentration and intensity of flavour. A Pinot Noir of beautiful poise and subtle complexity, this is exceptional value-for-money.
"95 Points. 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! 13.5% alc. Screwcap. Drink: 2025 - 2030. $50"- Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion
