GIANT STEPS HARRY'S MONSTER
Harry’s Monster 2019 is a cellar‑worthy red blend from Giant Steps, named affectionately after founder Phil and Allison Sexton’s son, Harry. Sourced from the famed Sexton Vineyard in the Yarra Valley, this wine combines Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot into a powerful yet refined expression of cool‑climate Yarra Valley red wine. The 2019 season delivered beautifully ripe tannins and dense energy, reflected in this wine’s depth and structure.
