{"product_id":"giant-steps-yarra-valley-pinot-noir-2024","title":"Giant Steps Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt Giant Steps, we hand pick 100% of our fruit and fastidiously hand sort in the vineyard. Pinot Noir has one of two processing pathways at Giant Steps - either fermented semi carbonic with 100% whole bunch or destemmed and fermented with whole berries. When the fruit arrives at the winery, we determine which direction to take the parcel depending on clone, vineyard, stem ripeness and flavour. Our whole bunch batches are fermented warm with minimal mixing for 14 days. The destemmed whole berry parcels are cold soaked for 3 days before we allow them to warm up and start fermentation naturally. All of our cap management is done using gravity drain and returns, allowing for gentle extraction before pressing. Each parcel is then transferred by gravity to French oak barriques for malolactic fermentation and is kept on those lees for the duration of its maturation. The parcels are blended together in Spring before bottling in December. This wine is bottled by gravity without fining or filtration. Parcels are matured in French oak (10% new, 90% older) for eight months. Blended in October and then bottled by gravity without fining or filtration in November.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giant Steps","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46417832607992,"sku":"5248","price":41.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/2712\/5752\/files\/GiantStepsYarraValleyPinotNoirNV.png?v=1746571776","url":"https:\/\/checkout.reservecellar.com.au\/products\/giant-steps-yarra-valley-pinot-noir-2024","provider":"Reserve Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
