Giant Steps is a privately owned, estate based, Yarra Valley grower and winemaker that has forged a reputation for delivering some of Australia’s most consistent, over-performing, single vineyard varietal wines. The Yarra Valley range of wines is made from hand-picked fruit from the estate vineyards. Head winemaker Steve Flamsteed and his team are making some of the best wines in Australia from these sites. Their aim is to express in each wine the character of the Yarra Valley, grape and vintage, and this they achieve by meticulous work in the vineyards and minimum intervention in the winery.
Fruit for this wine is sourced from the Sexton, Tarraford, Applejack and Wombat Creek vineyards.
Wines from the Yarra Valley range are produced using indigenous yeasts, 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 10% are new and 90% older oak. No malolactic fermentation or lees stirring took place. The wine was then aged for 7 months in 10% new and 90% used French puncheons.
An elegant, refined and delicate Chardonnay that is also surprisingly voluptuous. The nose shows classic Yarra characters of fresh melon and intense citrus favours, underpinned with notes of marzipan and hazelnut. Crisp acidity ensures a refreshing, clean finish.
Pairs well with ahi poke with quinoa and heirloom tomatoes, citrus spiced fried chicken wings or crab with cannellini bean salad and citrus vinaigrette
