GIANT STEPS YARRA CHARDONNAY
The Yarra Valley clearly displays the region’s fruit in a simple, textural and affordable light. The Giant Steps Single Vineyard range personifies each site. These wines are produced from the most site-expressive fruit off the best vineyards in great years. Production of these wines is very limited with some vineyards producing as little as 200 cases. All Ginat Steps’ wines are produced using indigenous yeasts, gravity-flow winemaking, and minimal fining and filtration. This approach produces highly expressive wines, true to the climate, soil and topography of the Yarra Valley.
