Giant Steps Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2023

Giant Steps Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2022

Sourced from vineyards across the Yarra Valley. 50% sourced from the upper Yarra ranges.  2022 was a high quality but low yielding season in the Yarra Valley.  The grapes came off the vine with lovely concentration and flavour and great natural acidity.

"Whole-bunched pressed and wild fermented in 15% new French puncheons. Around 5% malolactic fermentation. A light, bright green gold. Pure fruited with an attractive nose of just ripened orchard and stone fruits, pink grapefruit and orange blossom.  A hint of matchstick and just-baked ginger snaps. Concentrated and lithe at the same time, Giant Step's calling card is just as good, if not better than the super 2021 release."
