"Full ruby colour with purple glints at the rim. Full aromatic lift of raspberry, black cherry and vanilla beans. Palate is full of intense black and red berry fruits with hints of dried herbs, forest floor and vanilla adding layers and character. Tannins work quietly in the background in harmony with a fine acid line, lifting and driving the palate very long and finishing with a flurry of complexity and character" - Stuart Knox

ABOUT THE PRODUCER:

Giant Step’s wines are a homage to the Yarra Valley’s cool climate, and our celebrated vineyards of Sexton, Applejack, Bastard Hill, Tarraford, Primavera and Wombat Creek produce wines with delicate restraint and focused energy.

From the complex and earthy Applejack or the floral and perfumed Primavera Pinot Noir to the confident Sexton Chardonnay or new linear Bastard Hill Chardonnay, each of our wines express the best of their site and the vintage.

Phil had planted the Sexton site at Gruyere in 1997, but when they got hold of fruit from the Tarraford Vineyard and then Applejack and Primavera Vineyards in the upper Yarra, that’s when things got really interesting as they begun to develop the single vineyard wines.

In 2021, Melanie Chester joined the team as Head of Winemaking and Viticulture to continue the journey to produce wines from distinctive vineyards that showcase the very best of the Yarra Valley region. From the first vintage over 20 years ago, Giant Steps is proud to be known as one of Australia’s best producers of single vineyard Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
