Giant Steps Bastard Hill Pinot Noir
“The 2024 vintage of Giant Steps single vineyard wines is formally released on August 11, 2025. This 2024 release is from both the north and south slopes of the vineyard; 2023 was from the north side of the vineyard only. This year it cropped at 1.8 tonne per hectare. This is pretty as a picture. Blue and red berries, slips of spice, smoked cedar tucked in; it’s Pinot Noir in naked form, the bones clear but so too the flesh. This result is exquisite. It glides slowly through the start and then gradually, like a river through the rapids, increases its speed to the rush of an exaggeratedly long finish. This Pinot Noir is minerally, almost gravelly. It has flesh and perfume. It delves into secret herbs and spices territory. It’s a wine in perfect form. The tautness, the perfume, the flesh; everything is elite.”
