The wine
Vivid red ruby, with blueberries, red and dark cherries and sweet spices carrying through to the palate.
The Sexton vineyard climbs the steep north-facing slopes of the Warramate Ranges from 130 to 210 metres, a warmer site than the upper valley plantings, which is why its Pinot comes out fuller. Giant Steps work estate vineyards across the Yarra Valley, an hour east of Melbourne and one of the coolest mainland regions in Australia, bottling each site separately alongside the valley blends.

View all Giant Steps winesGiant Steps is one of Australia's leading estates for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, based in the cool Yarra Valley of Victoria. Founded by Phil Sexton, it has become a benchmark for single-vineyard wines of purity and precision. The wines rank among the country's finest.
The vineyards lie across the Yarra Valley's varied soils and altitudes, each site vinified separately to capture its character. Cool nights and careful, low-intervention winemaking give freshness and detail. Giant Steps is a champion of Yarra terroir.
The range runs from the fresh, regional Yarra Valley Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to the acclaimed single-vineyard bottlings from Sexton and Applejack. Each is pure, mineral and beautifully balanced. They show the Yarra at its most refined.
Giant Steps wines combine cool-climate freshness with real depth and craft. They are elegant, age-worthy and consistently outstanding. Among the best of modern Australia.
