Giant Steps Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2024 from Giant Steps in the Yarra Valley is a benchmark modern Aussie chardy – fleshy yet pure, with piercing citrus, stone fruit and beautifully judged oak in a seamlessly balanced, mid‑weight frame.

This Giant Steps Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2024 shows nectarine, white peach and pink grapefruit with Meyer lemon, hazelnut, subtle cream and a touch of wet slate and sea‑spray, thanks to wild ferment in French oak puncheons with only about 10% malolactic to keep the acidity laser‑bright. The palate is dry, medium‑bodied and creamy yet focused, with crisp acidity, mineral drive and a long, savoury, citrus‑lined finish that drinks beautifully now and will evolve for four to six years.

On the table it shines with grilled white fish, BBQ prawns, roast chicken, pork, roast asparagus or mushroom dishes – anywhere you want a Chardonnay that brings both precision and plushness without ever feeling heavy.
