Giant Steps Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2022 12.5% 6x75cl (Halliday 95 points)

95 points James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion

James Halliday's Winery of the Year 2024

2022 was a high-quality but low-yielding vintage in the Yarra Valley. The mild summer meant long, slow ripening and flavour concentration, with some well-placed rain in January refreshing the vineyards at just the right time.

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.
