  Giant Steps Rosé is inspired by the wines of Provence with the perfume and beauty of early-picked Yarra Valley Pinot Noir and Syrah. Hand-picked and gently pressed, the combination creates a Rosé that is deliciously refreshing.

• Vintage Notes

  The 2024 vintage growing season begun with ideal flowering conditions. Ultimately, we had good fruit set which formed into moderate yields. Cool and mild through December, one of the highest rainfalls in January on record followed (150mm), then heat and fast maturity. By February we were back into the Indian summer pattern that is common in the Yarra Valley. Ideal growing conditions - warm and dry with little disease pressure - has resulted in wines with great acidity, balance, and flavour.

• Vineyard Notes

  Sexton and Tarraford Vineyards

• Winemaking

  Hand-picked, whole bunch pressed taking only the fresh free run. The clear juice was then racked to a stainless-steel tank for a long cool ferment before being matured on ferment lees until bottling in June.

  Drink by itself while sitting in the sun. Drink it out of enamel cups at the beach with salty piping hot fish and chips. Crab sangas on white bread with mayo and dill. A Thai feast of satay chicken, with steamed rice and a zippy, spicy papaya salad. Grilled anchovies on toasted bruschetta with tomatoes.
