Each clone was fermented and matured separately and is either fermented with 100% whole bunches included or 100% Destemmed. The MV6 was fermented as whole bunches in a seasoned oak vat, while the 115 and G clone were fermented as whole berries with a 4-day cold soak before the start of fermentation. The ferments spent between 10 – 14 days on skins, with gentle mixing throughout that time using gravity. The resulting blend is 15% Whole bunch fermented. All parcels completed malolactic fermentation and were then matured in French oak Barriques (225L) – 20% new, 80% seasoned – for nine months. The wine was not moved and kept in contact with its lees before blending in November. Bottled by gravity. No fining. No filtration.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e-Giant Steps\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Primavera is often late to ripen, and so has been closely and painstakingly monitored by Lou Primavera since 2000. His understanding of the red basalt soils and site is then further heightened by the winemaking team who know how to draw out its nuances. What is, for me, the creative child of the line up. I adore the red fruit core of raspberry, pomegranate and rhubarb. Which then lends way to harissa, oolong tea and carob notes. Cumin, cassia and dried porcini mushroom on the finish. There are stringy bark tannins and crackle to the acidity. A sweet cherry tomato mid palate, that makes for moreish drinking. It’s a refined wine that makes for heavenly drinking, even for heathens like me. Drink now and will cellar well for 6 years. A lovely pairing for tomato and pancetta risotto. 97 points.\"\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e- Shanteh Wale\u003c\/strong\u003e, Wine Pilot, August 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVegan friendly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle \/ Variety: Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003eRegion: Yarra Valley, VIC\u003cbr\u003eABV: 13.2%\u003cbr\u003eVol: 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giant Steps","offers":[{"title":"Single","offer_id":46668492865794,"sku":"2000561","price":110.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/6149\/9906\/files\/2025-GiantSteps-PrimaveraVineyardPinotNoir2023750ml-1_b57e65f9-8a16-4ca6-b61b-a690e0b8bf95.jpg?v=1755239692","url":"https:\/\/carwyncellars.com.au\/products\/giant-steps-primavera-vineyard-pinot-noir-750ml","provider":"Carwyn Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
