Giant Steps Wombat Creek Vineyard Chardonnay 2019
$58.00There’s striking freshness of lemon and yellow grapefruit here with a chalky, stony, flinty edge. The fresh fruit carries subtly spicy oak nicely. There are grapefruit and fresh yellow-peach flavors in abundance. This carries energetic, acidity-fueled drive and delivers impressive balance, as well as length. So long and juicy. Drink or hold. 97 Points, James […]

Giant Steps Yarra Valley Rose 2021
$29.00100% pinot noir, hand picked, specifically for this rosé, wild-yeast fermented. Vibrantly fresh aromas and flavours; rose petals, violets and delicate spices on the bouquet, wild strawberries and raspberries on the mouth-watering palate. Great wine, not just great rosé. And it will repay cellaring. 97 Points – James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion)

Giant Steps Sexton Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020
$62.00Medium-depth red/purple hue. Lovely ripe red to dark cherry aromas, fresh and bright, already very accessible. Ample fine tannins , in balance. Beautifully made. A juicy pinot to enjoy relatively young. This gives a stack of pleasure. 95 Points – Huon Hooke, The Real Review

Giant Steps Sexton Vineyard Chardonnay 2020
$58.00Malty, lanolin, raw almond aromas, delicate, refined, subtle and beautifully balanced. Tastes quite different to a Gingin clone wine from, say, Margaret River. Intense, very fine and long and there’s a gentle grip on the finish that helps cleanse the aftertaste. 93 Points – Huon Hooke, The Real Review

Giant Steps Wombat Creek Vineyard Chardonnay 2020
$58.00Giant Steps’ higher-elevation sites, as in this and Applejack Vineyard, have turned out racy, long and superfine wines – it’s the moreish, mouth-watering acidity. Of course there’s more: the complex flavours and heady aromas. Smoky, slinky and talc-like texture to the acidity, with a dab of creamed honey and citrus on the palate. There’s a […]

Giant Steps Fatal Shore Pinot Noir 2020
$72.00A notably deeper colour than the Giant Steps Yarra pinots, looking more Central Otago than Yarra! The bouquet shows dark fruits rather than red, rich and ripe, with more stemmy whole-bunch overtones than the 2020 Yarra pinots, although they all have about 50% whole-bunch ferments. The wine is medium-bodied and has more weight and tannin […]

Giant Steps Primavera Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020
$62.00Medium to light red/purple colour. Very floral and rose-petally, with a tinge of lavender. Highly aromatic pinot. The palate is light to medium-weight and finely-textured, with a sheen of firm but fine tannins adding grip and structure. The aftertaste has a brothy umami savouriness and a lingering aftertaste. Compact and focused. An excellent Yarra pinot […]

Giant Steps Tarraford Chardonnay 2020
$58.00A soft, delicate, restrained wine with aromas of white flowers and a whiff of almond meal. Cashew-nutty too. A more straightforward style and a trifle short on the finish compared to other vineyards. It’s remarkably backward and restrained considering it’s the lowest altitude vineyard and earliest harvested. 92 Points – Huon Hooke, The Real Review […]

Giant Steps Applejack Vineyard Chardonnay 2020
$58.00Slightly reductive at first—smoky, then talcy and restrained, fresh and crisply tart, refined and lingering, with a hunger-inducing saltiness and grip at the finish. A beautifully refined, subtle and harmonious wine. 95 points – Huon Hooke, The Real Review
