ロイヤル・クイーンズランド・ワイン・アワードで3つのトロフィ獲得!
容量:750mlセクストン・ヴィンヤード:標高130~210m、ワラマテ山脈の北向きの急斜面に面しています。畑が位置するエリアは、表土が薄く、堅い岩が多い砂利粘土質の土壌を備えているのが特徴。この厳しい環境によって、自然にブドウの収量が抑えられており、凝縮感のある風味豊かなワインが生み出されています。 Halliday Wine Companion(ジェームス・ハリデー)96点「From the Sexton vineyard in Gruyere. Destemmed with whole berries and matured nine months in French barriques (20% new). A deep ruby crimson. The densest and most brooding of the Giant Steps Yarra Valley single-vineyard pinots from 2022. You'll find bramble berries, freshly ploughed earth and a little black pepper. Savoury and concentrated on the palate, there is plenty of meat on the bones with substantial and persistent tannins masked by the sheer weight of plush fruit at this stage. A succulent wine to enjoy now and over the next few years.」ワインスペクテーター96点「A stunning version, showing wonderful precision. Offers wild strawberry, raspberry and maraschino cherry flavors that are sleek and polished, plus wild fennel, toasted green tea, rose petal and cardamom details. There's a hint of forest floor on the long finish, with dense, velvety tannins. Drink now through 2037. 」ジェームス・サックリン95点「Aromas of clove, bing cherries, lilac and mulch. A darker composition. A carnal whiff of autumnal leaves and Lapsang souchong. Detailed tannins compress a mid-weighted palate of impressive density and freshness. This will unravel nicely across the mid-term, based on poise and succulent length. A reductive clench at the finish confers further tension. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.」
