Pre-release. Wines shipping/available from August 26th.

Planted in 1987 in Gladysdale at 400m by the trailblazing Ray Guerin for Hardys and purchased by Giant Steps in 2022. This is its first wine from the vineyard. And what a wine it is! A brilliant and pure scented bouquet of nashi, pink grapefruit, crushed rock, sea spray and honeysuckle. There's a hint of fresh honeycomb, too. Incisive, pure and chalky on the palate, this concentrated yet light on its feet wine is reminiscent of good Corton-Charlemagne. That it will age gracefully is a given. 98pts - Philip Rich for The Halliday Wine Companion

This is the inaugural release of the Bastard Hill Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Giant Steps, after acquiring the vineyard in 2022.
