The 2024 Sexton Vineyard Pinot Noir is vinified with a minimalist approach typical of Giant Steps, using indigenous yeasts, gentle extraction, and gravity flow; for this vintage the fruit was 100% destemmed and fermented in open-top vessels before maturation in French oak, producing a 13.5% alcohol wine that is the richest and most immediately generous of the single-vineyard Pinot releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2024 Sexton shows deep crimson-ruby color and is described as incredibly perfumed, with lifted aromas of apples, rose petals, cherry, and blood plum, alongside darker raspberry and blackcurrant pastille notes with a touch of rose bush. On the palate it is juicy and fleshy with ripe, plush tannins that are quite grippy yet fine, giving a more structural feel than the other Giant Steps single-vineyard Pinots in 2024, and finishing with mouth-filling dark fruits and a firm but polished frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards and Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e92\/100 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing and Cellaring\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe at 14–16°C in a Burgundy glass; a 30–45 minute decant will help soften the tannins and open the perfume in youth. Best enjoyed from 2026–2032, when the firm structure should resolve into more savoury complexity; pair with roast duck, lamb, game birds, or mushroom dishes that complement its dark fruit and grip.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Omtis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47793392582827,"sku":"GIS008-24","price":468.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3023\/7867\/files\/giant_steps_sexton_vineyard_pinot_noir.jpg?v=1789202856","url":"https:\/\/www.regiswine.com.hk\/products\/giant-steps-sexton-vineyard-pinot-noir-2024","provider":"Regis Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
