Description
Giant Steps Applejack Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022 is an exceptional expression of Yarra Valley’s cool-climate viticulture. Sourced from a highly regarded vineyard planted on steep slopes with basalt-based soils, this Pinot Noir showcases the unique characteristics of the Applejack site. The 2022 vintage, while challenging, produced a wine with intense flavors of dark cherries, blackberries, and subtle earthy notes. Its elegant and refined palate features a fine yet extended, spicy texture, underscored by well-integrated tannins and a long, lingering finish. Matured in a mix of new and older French oak barrels, this vegan-friendly wine reflects both the high altitude and meticulous vineyard management, making it a standout example of Australian Pinot Noir.
