Giant Steps 'Applejack Vineyard' Pinot Noir 2023 750ml

Introducing, for the second year in a row, the James Halliday Wine Companion's Pinot Noir of the Year! 🥇

This is a Pinot Noir that enchants the senses with its aromatic bouquet of wild strawberries, dark cherries, and spices, all interwoven with a hint of floral notes. On the palate, it is densely packed with fruit, yet remains elegantly light and vibrant, showcasing a perfect harmony of sweet fruit and savoury earthiness. Layers of spice and a whisper of woodsmoke add to its allure - it really is the complete Pinot package.

98 points & Pinot Noir of the Year
"2022 was a hard act to follow, but this superb wine gives it a shake. Exotic, aromatic and pure with its bouquet of wild strawberries, dark cherries, quince, spices and flowers. Densely packed, this saturates the palate, but, as always, it's light on its feet at the same time. Seamless tannins round out another benchmark for what's already a benchmark wine." - Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion)
