WineSaint
Taut and mineral-driven, with crushed oyster shell, wet stone and iodine leading the charge. Green pear and citrus pith provide the fruit core, while fennel seed and struck match add savory complexity. The texture shows restraint. No malolactic softness here. Just pure, electric tension that carries through the long, saline finish.

→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.
