Giant Steps
LDR Yarra Valley Pinot Noir Syrah
Yarra Valley, Port Phillip, Victoria, Australia
Mid Ruby in colour with a youthful purple tinge. Aromatic red fruits with some stalky peppery notes. On the palate - one word YUM. This is all about primary fruit flavours and freshness and is totally smashable. Barb loved it. This would be a huge hit in Bistros in the capital cities over summer. An unusual blend of Pinot Noir and Syrah pioneered by the legendary Maurice O’Shea in the Hunter Valley back in the 40’s and 50’s. Now being adopted by Giant Steps and other progressive wineries like Yarra Yering. A thoroughly delicious wine. So fresh it’s impertinent!! The 2019 I believe has just been released. Tasted the last bottle 111 weeks later on 13th January 2022 with consistent notes. Has become an annual purchase for me. I find the drinking window of HH through to 2030 to be amazing. I must find the willpower to leave one for several years to note the changes. It is difficult to believe it would be any more delicious than it is now.
