Giant Steps Sexton Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020 13.5% 750ml

Spiced rhubarb in a bottle, this pinot is wild, dense and plump. Earthy characters fuse with dark cherry, rhubarb, strawberry and plum flavours which are complemented by oak and grippy tannin. Hints of chocolate and herbal notes finish it off. Enjoy it with an array of meat dishes including roast pork, veal, duck and lamb.

Expert Review:
Houn Hookie- 95 points- Medium-depth red/purple hue. Lovely ripe red to dark cherry aromas, fresh and bright, already very accessible. Ample fine tannins , in balance. Beautifully made. A juicy pinot to enjoy relatively young. This gives a stack of pleasure.

Yarra Valley based vigneron, Phil Sexton lives with his family in the middle of their 32 hectare vineyard established on the high north face of the Warramate Ranges in the dress circle of the Yarra Valley. Specialising in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Giant Steps explore site, micro climatic and clonal differences between several specialized vineyards in the Yarra Valley including their own multi-clonal vineyard and the highly regarded Tarraford vineyard. Focused intently upon reflecting the individual and unique characteristics of each single vineyard, Giant Steps adopts a minimalist approach to winemaking including, whenever possible, vinification using indigenous yeasts and gravity flow transfers.
