$ 5499
Winemaker Notes
The 2020 Giant Steps Yarra Valley Chardonnay is a naturally high acidity wine with incredible bright flavors of fresh melons with a citrus edge. Ideal pairings for this wine include fried soft shell crab Bao, with fresh coriander and bean shoots. Grilled fresh goats curd and olive tapenade on grilled sourdough and fresh rocket salad. Roast crispy skin baby chicken, preserved lemon and roast garlic. Aged Pecorino cheese drizzled with extra virgin olive oil.
95pts Halliday's Wine Companion
Perhaps the most approachable of the single-vineyard chardonnays, as it's flavoursome and rich without being over-the-top. Expect beeswax, white florals and some ginger spice, plus lots of texture and concentrated flavours across the full palate. Importantly, everything is in balance. There’s a neat acid line too and this is just right for drinking now, rather than cellaring.
93pts Wine Spectator
This offers a vibrant, mouthwatering mix of lime peel, peach and pineapple flavors on a sleek and juicy frame, with hints of spearmint, matcha green tea and fresh ginger that linger on the long, lingering finish.
93pts Jame Suckling
A very fresh and composed chardonnay that offers aromas of lemon, lightly spiced pear pastry and peach. The intense and fresh palate holds a line of juicy peach and pear flavors in a smoothly enriched, focused style. Drink now.
