Description

For Melanie Chester, who became Head of Winemaking and Viticulture at Giant Steps in 2021, this long-held admiration for the winery comes with an intrinsic pressure to honour the expressions and diversity of its single sites. This means keeping the winemaking tight and transparent, so that diversity of site is what you taste. “The wines will never look the same because the vineyards continue to change,” she explains, “but we are committed to ensuring that the quality will be the same if not better.”

Blended exclusively from our single sites in similar proportions, Circle of Fifths wines bring together the character of each vineyard in one harmonious expression. They capture the strengths of our unique sites into one wine, coming together to tell a new story.
“Where the Single Vineyard wines are the pure tones of each vineyard, Circle of Fifths is the chord.” -Melanie Chester

From the Tarraford, Sexton, Primavera, Applejack and Bastard Hill Vineyards.

Review
A blend of all the single-vineyard wines. 40% whole bunches. A medium, bright crimson red. A beautifully fragrant wine with its aromas of perfectly ripened strawberry, black raspberry, rose, lavender and cinnamon stick. Unfurls on the medium-bodied, textured and mouth-filling palate. The tannins are succulent and you barely notice the whole bunches. A step up on last year's Circle of Fifths and a wine that will still be looking good a decade from now.

Review
Medium ruby with a crystalline purple rim. Fragrant and lifted nose showing mixed red fruit with dried rose petal and sage notes. The palate is bright and lively, acidity lifting the red fruit early then fading, allowing anise, cinnamon and clove spice to build complexity. Tannins have enough grip to provide tension into the back palate and it all finishes with style and grace at the long end. Drink- 2026–2038.
