2023 Giant Steps Applejack Vineyard Pinot Noir

Light Pinot Noir Yarra Valley

Giant Steps Applejack Vineyard Pinot Noir has taken the top spot as "Pinot Noir of the Year" for 2025 in the prestigious James Halliday Wine Companion Awards. It's a wine that's more than just delicious—it's a testament to the dedication, skill, and artistry of its makers.

Phil Sexton and his team at Giant Steps have poured their hearts into crafting this exceptional Pinot Noir. The Applejack Vineyard, surrounded by eucalyptus trees and planted back in 1997, has produced a wine bursting with character. Think vibrant flavours of wild strawberries, dark cherries, quince, and a touch of spice—all balanced beautifully with elegant floral notes. It’s packed with flavour, yet somehow feels light and graceful—a true masterpiece.

This wine isn’t just about what’s inside the bottle; it tells the story of a place and the people who care for it. It's a celebration of the Yarra Valley, its unique climate, and the simple yet thoughtful approach of winemaking that lets nature take the lead.

If you want something special in the cellar this is a great choice!

Great Concept, Great Value

I love the concept of been out of store my wine somewhere away from where I can get at but get it when I’m ready to drink it, It’s a wonderful concept and the price point is excellent!

Love being part of the Vintage Cru!

Absolutely loved the Community catch up and having a Sommelier present. Makes you appreciate what you’re drinking whilst meeting new people!

Daniel
Game Changer!

I’ve always wanted a wine cellar but we live in a small place and couldn’t afford one. This is so cool and has made friend catch ups and date nights so fun!

Mannie
So Easy

I love how simple this has been. Simple sign up, bottles in my cellar each month, and so easy to get them delivered when I want them. No other wine subscription offers what Tuesday Cellar Co does
