Yarra Valley chardonnay done right 🍋🌿

Giant Steps has built a serious reputation in Australian wine, with 35+ trophies, 100+ gold medals, and a seven-time winner of Wine & Spirits ‘Top Wineries of the Year’. Most recently, they were named 2025 Halliday Winery of the Year.

The 2024 Giant Steps Yarra Valley Chardonnay is a masterclass in balance—bright, textural, and everything you want from cool-climate Aussie chardonnay.

Sourced from multiple high-elevation sites across the region, it’s all citrus and stone fruit, wrapped in elegant French oak and crisp natural acidity. Fermented with wild yeasts, this is Giant Steps doing what they do best: purity, precision, and serious drinkability.

From the winemaker

What the maker says about this wine

An even split of upper and lower Yarra fruit; both estate grown and from growers. Less mlf than last year. Smells fleshy with aromas of stone fruits, together with a little pink grapefruit and light citrus notes. It's both approachable and gentle, even as a young wine, but the balance for drinking now or cellaring in the short to medium term is absolutely spot on.
