Giant Steps are making strunning wines that are getting great press. None more so than this delicious Chardonnay. Very much in the modern style but still loads of character.
Wild yeast fermented, gravity-flow winemaking and minimal fining and filtration. All the fruit is 100% hand picked and fermented in 500 litre French oak puncheons, of which 15% are new and 85% older oak. It was then aged in similar oak for eight months.
An elegant, refined and delicate Chardonnay that is also surprisingly voluptuous. The nose shows classic Yarra characters of fresh melon and intense citrus flavours, underpinned with notes of marzipan and hazelnut. Crisp acidity ensures a refreshing, clean finish.
