Overview

A concentrated Tasmanian Pinot Noir with dark fruit, floral lift and a firm, balanced tannin structure. Giant Steps' 2025 Coal River release brings a deeper, more muscular expression to the dinner table and cellar.

Nocton Vineyard supplies the fruit for this single-vineyard bottling, combining southern Tasmania's cool conditions with the producer's restrained approach in the winery.

Vintage & Winemaking

Handpicked fruit was transported under refrigeration to the Yarra Valley winery, then destemmed and cold-soaked before fermentation. Eight months in French oak barriques preceded gravity bottling without fining or filtration.
