Giant Steps Wombat Creek Vineyard Yarra Valley Chardonnay is an exceptional wine that embodies the perfect combination of subtlety and complexity. This rich and textured Chardonnay offers a brilliant golden-yellow color with aromas of citrus and white flowers that blend beautifully with hints of oak and vanilla. The palate unfolds in a complex layer of flavors — stone fruit, fresh acidity, buttery finish, and a touch of minerality. The wine boasts a delicate balance of mouthfeel and acidity, making it a refreshing and satisfying sip. Indeed, the Wombat Creek Vineyard Chardonnay is a testament to Giant Steps' commitment to quality and a true reflection of the Yarra Valley's unique terroir.

Tasting Notes

An energetic Chardonnay with fine aromas of lemon, grapefruit and nutty oak, with hints of marzipan and apple pie crust. The steely, linear palate has mouthwatering citrus characters, impressive balance and wonderful finesse on the finish.

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.
