Dark cherry and bitter herbs emerge with real grip on the palate. The tannins need time. This is the most backward of the Tarraford releases, all coiled tension and smoky undertones. Violet and licorice peek through the structure. Give it another five years minimum.

Giant Steps

Giant Steps is one of the Yarra Valley's benchmark chardonnay producers, working a range of single-vineyard sites across the appellation to make wines of precision and site distinction rather than a house style imposed from above.
