Yarra Valley, Victoria
42% whole bunch | 15% new French oak | Bottled unfined & unfiltered
Blended exclusively from the same single-vineyard sites that define Giant Steps' acclaimed range, the 2024 Circle of Fifths Pinot Noir offers a different kind of harmony—bringing together the "notes" not selected for the single-site releases into a captivating and complete "chord."
The 2024 vintage was a classic Yarra season, marked by a cool spring and a warm, dry February that delivered perfect ripening conditions. Each vineyard parcel was hand-picked, hand-sorted, and then vinified according to clone, site, and stem ripeness. The result is a seamless integration of whole-bunch vibrancy (42%) and fine oak framing (15% new French barriques), matured on lees for added texture and complexity.
Melanie Chester, Head of Winemaking, puts it best:
“Where the Single Vineyard wines are the pure tones of each vineyard, Circle of Fifths is the chord.”
Expect a bright, lifted Pinot Noir with purity of red fruit, refreshing acidity, and an elegant structural frame. It sings with Yarra Valley energy, but with the deeper resonance of thoughtful blending—ideal for those who love finesse and depth without overstatement.
No fining. No filtration. Just Giant Steps in perfect rhythm.
