Aromas of brambly red fruits, light rose petal scents and a touch of spice. Even better on the light- to medium-bodied, brightly fruited, supple and balanced palate. Fine-knit tannins round out a wine that's designed to enjoy now but that will still be looking good three to four years from now.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout This Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 vintage began with ideal flowering conditions and good fruit set, leading to moderate yields. A cool and mild December was followed by significant January rainfall, before warm and dry conditions returned, resulting in a fast and healthy ripening period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese conditions produced wines with strong acidity, balance and flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% hand-picked fruit. The Syrah component underwent whole bunch carbonic maceration, while Pinot Noir was destemmed, cold soaked for four days, and fermented as whole berries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine was matured for six months in a combination of large format (2000L) and small format (225L and 500L) French oak barrels before bottling by gravity with no fining or filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreat acidity, balance and flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout the Producer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiant Steps produces wines focused on expressing individual vineyard sites across the Yarra Valley, with an emphasis on minimal intervention, low yields and detailed winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winery is recognised for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, crafted with restraint and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage: 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape Variety: 51% Pinot Noir, 49% Syrah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: Yarra Valley \/ Victoria \/ Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol: 13.0%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcidity pH: 3.56\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcidity TA: 6.0 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaturation: 6 months in large format (2000L) and small format (225L and 500L) French oak barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction Attributes: Hand-picked · Indigenous yeast · No fining · No filtration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure: Screwcap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrinking Window: Now–2 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Joval","offers":[{"title":"Single","offer_id":51964101820718,"sku":"SK62266170","price":29.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 pk (Case)","offer_id":51964101853486,"sku":"SK40423227","price":175.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/6596\/6894\/files\/2020GiantStepsSyrah-Carignan-Grenache750ml.png?v=1776321095","url":"https:\/\/www.jcfinewines.au\/products\/2020-giant-steps-syrah-carignan-grenache-750ml","provider":"JC FINE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
