[SOLD-OUT] Giant Steps Applejack Pinot Noir 2021 1500mL-Magnum

JAMES HALLIDAY 98 POINTS!

 

A MAGNIFICENT MAGNUM OF THIS HIGHLY AWARDED PINOT 

 

"Applejack Vineyard, in the upper Yarra Valley, was planted by respected viticulturist Ray Guerin. The higher altitude results in a cooler and extended growing season, ideally suited to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Applejack Vineyard is located on a dramatic slope and is closely planted and fastidiously managed. The basalt based underlying volcanic soil and rock produce a characteristically fine yet extended, spicy and firm palate.

Hand picked, all fruit is chilled overnight to 12 degrees Celsius. Fermented in small oak fermenters and stainless steel open vats. The MV6 and Pommard parcels were fermented as whole bunches, while the Abel and D clones were destemmed to whole berries and cold soaked for five days. The resulting blend is almost 80% whole bunch due to the riper stems this year. All parcels were matured in French oak." - Giant Steps
