Ripe pear and tangerine meet crushed stone and wet slate on a palate that balances Tarraford's warmth with surprising tension. The texture is generous but not heavy, with citrus pith and white pepper cutting through the fruit. Finishes long and spicy, the acidity keeping everything taut and focused.

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.
