Giant Steps Coal River Pinot Noir 2025

Vineyard Notes
Location: Coal River Valley Aspect: North-east facing Size: 34 Hectares Planted: 1999 Soil type: Calcareous & Triassic sandstone Under vine: Mv6, D5V12 In our obsession with Single Vineyard Pinot Noirs from great Pinot growing areas around the world, we have gone as far south as you can go in this country. Despite the cool temperatures, the sunlight hours are long and intense, and we are intrigued by the depth of palate and colour that is possible from this landscape. While it is made with the Giant Steps gentle winemaking approach, the result is clearly a world apart in terroir. The Pinot Noir from Nocton vineyard has amazing density and texture, with powerful weight and concentration. Blackberries, brambly, blackberry compote, plush, juicy tannins.

Winemaking
Handpicked and transported as fruit in refrigerated conditions by sea and land to our winery in the Yarra Valley. Fruit was destemmed and cold soaked for 3 -4 days in open oak vats and open stainless-steel fermenters. All parcels were matured in French oak – 21% new, 79% seasoned – for eight months in 225L barriques predominately Taransaud and Dargaud & Jaeglé. Bottled by gravity. No fining. No filtration.
