Since my visit to the Aussie Days Tasting in London I have been hunting for a wine called Giant Steps. This wine produced by vintner Phil Sexton & named after jazz saxophonist John Coltrane's first solo album rocked!
Single vineyard wines produced under gravity flow principle and hand made small batches are not something most people think of when considering an Aussie wine. Sante recently published an article on higher end wines from Australia siting the harm that the huge cheap wine lake has done in consumers eyes.
From my tasting notes on the Pinot Noir this wine was beautifully balanced with raspberry, plum, cedar box, and velvety tannins. I can't wait to try it again! I also ordered the Pinot rose produced by their Sister vineyard Innocent Bystander who also work with grapes sourced from single vineyards.
I think I may just open one of these bottles with some Coltrane & see how they pair together!
