Location: Coal River Valley Aspect: North-east facing Size: 34 Hectares Planted: 1999 Soil type: Calcareous & Triassic sandstone Under vine: Mv6, D5V12 In our obsession with Single Vineyard Pinot Noirs from great Pinot growing areas around the world, we have gone as far south (and as cold) as you can go in this country. Despite the cool temperatures, the sunlight hours are long and intense and we are intrigued by the depth of palate and colour that is possible from this landscape. While it is made with the Giant Steps gentle winemaking approach, the result is clearly a world apart in terroir. The Pinot Noir from Nocton vineyard have amazing density and texture, with powerful weight and concentration.

Halliday Wine Companion
From the Nocton vineyard in Coal River Valley. Hand picked into a refrigerated container by 10.30am to make the boat to the mainland. The 60% MV6 clone is whole bunches and the 40% D5V12 clone is fully destemmed. All barriques, 20% new. A bright crimson red, this leaps from the glass with its heady aromas of red raspberries, wild strawberries and redcurrant, a little potpourri and spices such as mace and pink peppercorns. Brightly fruited yet nicely balanced with gently persistent tannins and refreshing acidity, it's so delicious from the get-go, you really can enjoy this now but know that it will still be looking good 5-7 years from now.

The Tasmanian excursion for Giant Steps. Coal River Valley site. The grapes are picked, shipped straight over, and processed at the Giant Steps winery in the Yarra Valley the next day.
“All of the fruits”, winemaker Mel Chester says. She’s 100% spot on here. Fresh, bold, refreshing, floral, blue and red berries, lots of oak spice through the aftertaste, eager as all hell through the mid palate but then measured and controlled through the back half. 94 in a heart beat. Love pinot, buy pinot. It tightens and becomes smokier through the finish but there’s so much flavour here, so much energy, and it’s well sustained. This is a super release. Rated : 94+ Points
