96 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 2025 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.
"96 Points. An opulent crimson purple. Explodes from the glass with its aromas of ripe cherries, raspberry coulis, lavender and spice. It's just so brightly fruited and juicy on the palate, too. Balanced acidity and tannins complete a superb and well-priced Yarra pinot to drink now and over the next three to four years. As good a Giant Steps entry point as I have tasted. Drink: 2026 - 2030. 13.5% alc."- Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion.
