Winemaking and Drinking

The Giant Steps Primavera Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022 is a standout expression of the Yarra Valley’s renowned cool-climate winemaking heritage. Located in Victoria, the Primavera Vineyard is situated in the upper reaches of the Yarra Valley, benefiting from cooler temperatures and ancient soils. This vineyard, meticulously managed by the Primavera family, is known for its ability to produce grapes that embody the delicate balance of fruit purity and structural complexity.

Origins

The 2022 vintage was shaped by a cool growing season with moderate rainfall, allowing for a slow and steady ripening process. This extended hang time resulted in fruit with intense aromatics, vibrant acidity, and refined tannins. Giant Steps, a name synonymous with precision and terroir-driven wines, has long been a champion of single-vineyard expressions, and this wine is no exception. The Primavera Vineyard is planted primarily with MV6 Pinot Noir clones, known for their small berries and concentrated flavors, perfectly capturing the essence of the site.

Tasting Notes

The Primavera Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022 greets the palate with aromas of wild red berries, rose petals, and a subtle hint of forest floor. On the palate, flavors of cherry, cranberry, and raspberry unfold with a silky texture, underscored by fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity. Hints of spice and earthy undertones add depth, leading to a long, elegant finish.

Winemaking

Winemaker Melanie Chester employed a minimalist approach to highlight the vineyard’s character. The fruit was handpicked, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and included a portion of whole bunches to enhance structure and aromatic complexity. The wine was aged in French oak (20% new) for 10 months, achieving a delicate balance between oak influence and fruit purity.

Awards and Accolades

The Giant Steps Primavera Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022 has received high praise, earning 96 points from leading wine critics. Recognized for its finesse and complexity, it has also been listed as one of the top Pinot Noirs of the year in Australia, cementing its reputation as a must-try for lovers of fine wine.

This wine is a perfect representation of the artistry and dedication that define Giant Steps, offering a truly memorable tasting experience.
