95 Points - Philip Rich
Giant Steps has forged a reputation as one of the Yarra Valley's leading wineries with their wines continuing to evolve, innovate and showcase what this cool-climate region does best. A product of another tiny but high quality vintage in the Yarra Valley, the 2023 Giant Steps 'LDR' is a blend of Pinot Noir and Syrah from the Sexton and Tarraford Vineyards.
Designed to be an approachable, early-drinking style red wine, the 2023 Giant Steps LDR delivers plenty of juiciness and vibrant red fruits flavours that makes it ideal for enjoying any time of the year - we'll be chilling it slightly for the warmer months.
"95 Points. A vibrant crimson purple. This really is the perfect blend for the Yarra when it comes to quaffable, affordable and delicious wines that don't require a lot of thought. With its aromas of red and black fruits, lifted spice and potpourri notes and a palate that is light to medium bodied, juicy-fruited and vibrant, this ticks all the aforementioned boxes. Screwcap. 13% alc. Drink: 2024 - 2028. $35"- Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion 2025.
