WINE DESCRIPTION

This is one of the single vineyard Chardonnay wines produced by Giant Step winery, located in a Yarra Valley of Australia. It benefits from the fact that, on the one hand, it comes from a warmer vineyard, but on the other han - from cooler South-facing slopes, which in combination allows to achieve very ripe and concentrated berries with good level of acidity. The vineyard is also rather old, which adds to complexity and concentration. The winemaking process involve whole-bunch pressing and maturation in French oak barrels, partly new. This is a really expressive Chardonnay which will please those who love this grape variety.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

On the nose, expect enticing aromas of ripe stone fruits such as peach and nectarine, complemented by hints of citrus and a touch of vanilla from the oak aging.The palate is rich and textured, with flavors of white peach, lemon zest, and a subtle nuttiness. The oak influence is well-integrated, providing structure and complexity without overpowering the fruit. The acidity in this wine is vibrant, adding freshness and ensuring a long, lingering finish. It is a well-crafted Chardonnay that can be enjoyed now, but also has the potential to age gracefully over the next 2-5 years, allowing the flavors to further develop and evolve.
