GIANT STEPS SEXTON VINEYARD PINOT NOIR
Sexton Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022 comes from the Sexton Vineyard — the first vineyard planted by Giant Steps founder Phil Sexton in Gruyere and one of the Yarra Valley’s most revered sites. The 2022 vintage was challenging but produced deeply concentrated, expressive fruit that the winemaking team has transformed into a complex, site‑true Pinot Noir. Notably, this wine was crowned Australia’s Best Wine at the Royal Queensland Wine Awards, recognised for its purity, fragrance and palate length.
