The 2025 season kicked off with plenty of winter rain, providing a buffer for a warm, dry summer. The result was an earlier-than-usual harvest, but the fruit arrived in pristine condition with great flavour depth and naturally vibrant acidity. The winemaking is all about gentle extraction, using roughly 20% whole-bunch parcels to add a spicy, floral lift, while 22% new French oak provides a polished structural frame.
It’s a seamless jam session of red berries and savoury spice. It’s got the perfume and elegance you expect from Giant Steps, but with a completeness that comes from blending five distinct "voices" into one. It’s an effortless, sophisticated Pinot that’s ready to drink now but has more than enough substance to evolve beautifully over the next few years.

"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."

Boccaccio Cellars offers real time shipping rates at checkout. These are heavily subsidised rates directly from Australia Post and will vary depending on your postcode.
Unfortunately, due to the ever increasing costs of postage we are unable to offer free shipping any longer. Postal increases have seen the average box of wine range from $30-$60, which can represent up to 500% of the cost of the average bottle of wine.
Your postal costs are calculated on the following factors:
- Where in Australia you are shipping to (Where rural postcodes obviously attract a higher charge)
- What in Australia you are shipping (Beer and water for example, are calculated in real time without any additional subsidy. This is because the margins for these products are minimal). Dry goods attract a discounted flat fee of $12 per carton (Calculated by gross weight).
Pickups on all items are encouraged.
