Giant Steps Yarra Valley Rose 2022 (Trophy)

Trophy, Best Rose, Yarra Valley Wine Show 2022.

Hand-picked, whole bunch pressed, using the crémant cycle taking only the fresh free run.
The clear juice was then racked to a stainless steel tank for a long cool ferment.
Once the ferment was dry, the tank was given a quick chill before bottling in July.

WHY?
Inspired really by what we are seeing out of southern France - those pale, bone dry Rosé’s from Provence, but also, we are intrigued by the perfume of early picked Yarra Valley Pinot Syrah.
When it is hand-picked and gently pressed, it has to be one of the great combinations for a dry Rosé - fresh and refreshing.
