Sexton Pinot Noir responds beautifully to the site’s warmer conditions and generous sunlight, producing wines with plush fruit, confidence and power. The wines often show dark cherry, blood plum and blackberry, layered with savoury complexity and notes of bourbon, sweet spice and ripe summer cherries - like an Old Fashioned. On the palate, Sexton is textural and expansive, framed by dark, chewy tannins and a long, powerful finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giant Steps","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":45617394417773,"sku":"RAWGIANTSEXPN18-3178","price":100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/files\/unnamed_44_d5aaa1f8-87a3-434f-9283-cf49ebd32b9d.jpg?v=1787664695"},{"product_id":"giant-steps-coal-river-valley-pinot-noir-2025","title":"Giant Steps Coal River Valley Pinot Noir 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95+ POINTS - Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A deep crimson purple.

Plant growth was slow due to the cool conditions all the way up until just prior to flowering, when some well-timed heat spurred the vines along. Flowering was late, but consistent. Lots of shoot and crop thinning was done throughout the season, as well as some extensive leaf plucking due to the cool conditions. It was a very mild summer with only a few days reaching over 30 degrees Celsius experienced at the vineyard, which meant a long and slow ripening. The grapes were picked late for our vineyard, coming into the winery late April. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandpicked 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 \u0026amp; Jaeglé. Bottled by gravity. No fining. No filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Giant Steps' obsession with Single Vineyard Pinot Noirs from great Pinot growing areas around the world, they have gone as far south as you can go in this country. Despite the cool temperatures, the sunlight hours are long and intense, and they 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giant Steps","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":45617409884269,"sku":"RAWGIANTAPPPN18-3179","price":100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/files\/unnamed_45_c7b161c6-a3d2-4998-8947-753fcd3c0793.jpg?v=1787664695"}],"url":"https:\/\/worldwine.com.au\/collections\/halliday-awards-2020-collection.oembed?page=2","provider":"World Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
