Giant Steps Circle Of Fifths Pinot Noir 2024 750ml

Expressive Yarra Valley Pinot Noir with elegance and depth

The Giant Steps Circle of Fifths Pinot Noir 2024 is a vibrant yet refined release that highlights the finesse of cool-climate Yarra Valley fruit. Crafted with minimal intervention, it’s a Pinot Noir that balances red-fruited brightness with savoury complexity, making it both delicious young and rewarding with time in the cellar.

Halliday Wine Companion - 96 Points 

Along with the chardonnay, this is an exciting new addition to the Giant Steps range. A blend of all the single-vineyard wines and mainly from the vineyards in the Upper Yarra. 40% whole bunches. Gently brooding with aromas of wild black cherries and raspberries along with some whole-bunch derived fennel seed spice and a touch of violets. Concentrated, with far more stuffing than the Yarra Pinot. Ripe, suave tannins ensure this will be worth cellaring for at least five to eight years. Philip Rich 

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: Aromatic red cherries, wild strawberries and rose petals, with hints of spice and forest floor.

• Palate: Juicy and finely structured, with layers of raspberry, cranberry and subtle earthy notes. Silky tannins and bright acidity provide balance and lift.

• Finish: Long, graceful and pure, with lingering red fruit and spice.

Food Pairing / Serving Suggestions

A versatile wine for the table, pair with duck breast, roast pork, mushroom pasta, or charcuterie boards. It also works beautifully with earthy vegetarian dishes and soft cheeses.
