[SOLD-OUT] Giant Steps Wombat Creek Pinot Noir 2021

 

Middle eastern spice surrounds a core of juicy fruit with a stunning mineral finish - Wine House 

"Wombat Creek Vineyard is the highest altitude vineyard in the Yarra Valley, making it an ideal location for the production of extreme cool climate wines. The underlying ferrous (red) based volcanic soil and rock produce a distinctively soft yet long and firm palate that contrasts with the finer palates seen from the nearby Applejack Vineyard.The vineyard was originally planted in 1988 with the intention of producing base wine for sparkling production but over the years has been gradually transitioned to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir for table wine.Picked in one (very small) parcel...the vat was filled to the brim with whole bunches and closed up to allow carbonic fermentation to occur. Occasional foot stomps were done to release a little more juice into the ferment and to extend the time on skins. Pressed after two weeks to new and used  French barriques for eight months...Bottled by gravity with no fining or filtration." - Giant Steps
