Description
The Giant Steps team, led by Mel Chester, treat this with the same rigour as their single-vineyard icons. It's a rose purpose-built from the ground up, sourced specifically from the premium Sexton and Tarraford vineyards, sites that would normally be destined for much more premium (in dollar-amount) wines.
The typical Giant Steps class is in the details. It’s a blend of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Syrah, hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed. Crucially, they only use the "free run" juice - the first, purest flow from the press - discarding the coarser pressings that lesser Rosés rely on for volume. That sacrifice is what gives the wine its delightful clarity and silkiness.
The 2025 vintage was warm and dry, delivering fruit with natural concentration, but that gentle handling has kept it fresh and crucnhy. It is pale, dry and exceedingly fragrant, balancing the pretty aromatics of the Pinot with the structural spine of the Syrah. This is serious winemaking masquerading as a smashable summer drink.

Long summer afternoons on the back verandah - you're in the shade, kids in the pool. A well balanced grazing table before you - only one thing missing...
- JGJohn G.Verified Buyer1 year agoReviewing2024 Giant Steps Yarra Valley RoseRated 5 out of 5 starsGreat Rose that actually tastes like Rose should.
Guests of mine claimed that this actually tastes "like Rose should taste..." with quality of fruit, depth of flavour and supported with loing length of taste overall.
