The 2026 Giant Steps Yarra Valley LDR Pinot Noir Shiraz is a bright cool-climate red that brings together the fragrance of Pinot Noir with the savoury character of Shiraz. The nose shows raspberry, red cherry and brambly berries, complemented by floral notes, cracked pepper and gentle spice.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with lively acidity and fine, supple tannins. Juicy red fruit combines with peppery spice and subtle savoury notes, creating a fresh and energetic expression with a dry, balanced finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for drinkers who enjoy lighter reds with bright fruit, fresh acidity and savoury spice. Best enjoyed young over the next 2–4 years and can be served slightly chilled. Ideal with wood-fired pizza, chargrilled chicken, pork, grilled octopus, mushroom dishes or Mediterranean vegetables.
