Gravelly minerals and dried herbs dominate, with boysenberry fruit struggling to emerge. The palate is brutally tannic, almost punishing in its extraction. Compressed blackberry and briny olive push through the grip, finishing with persistent herbs and wintergreen. Everything feels disjointed - the structure overwhelms the fruit, the tannins bite rather than support. Needs significant time to find harmony. Drink 2028-2040.

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.
