Giant Steps Tarraford Vineyard Yarra Valley Chardonnay is a classic expression of cool-climate Chardonnay from the Yarra Valley region in Victoria, Australia. This Chardonnay is produced using the best hand-selected grapes from the Tarraford Vineyard, renowned for its unique soil and microclimate that produce wines with great depth, elegance, and complexity. The wine has a bright golden-yellow color with aromas of citrus, white peach, and hints of vanilla and nutmeg. On the palate, it is crisp, fresh, and citrusy with a creamy texture and subtle notes of oak. This wine is perfect to be paired with grilled fish, chicken, or salads.

About the Winery

It was during 1997 that Phil Sexton established the Giant Steps wine brand in Yarra Valley in Australia. He had the sole objective of cultivating high-quality and authentic Chardonnay and Pinot Noir fruit. He found the cool climate, gentle breeze and good soil quality to be perfect in Yarra Valley to cultivate these fruits.

Grapes that are needed for creating wines are sourced from one of these seven vineyards- Sexton, Applejack, Gruyere Farm, Tarraford, Wombat Creek, Nocton and Tosq. The popular wines that are crafted here:

The soil quality, temperature and the overall terroir of each of these vineyards are unique and very different from one another. Therefore, the wines produced by Giant Steps have a distinct taste and flavour, thereby representing the exact character of the area in which the fruits were cultivated.

In the last six years, the Giant Steps wine brand has won many accolades and awards. The crowning glory of the brand came when the wines from its stables featured in the top 100 wines in the world.
