Giant Steps 2020 Tarraford Vineyard Chardonnay Wine WE93 Rated

Discover the 2020 Giant Steps Chardonnay from Yarra Valley’s renowned vineyards—a sophisticated white wine crafted for discerning palates. This Australian gem earned 93 points from Wine Enthusiast for its vibrant complexity and aging potential, offering exceptional value for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Bursting with bright citrus (lemon zest) and ripe stone fruit flavors (peach), this Chardonnay balances freshness with depth through hints of fresh flowers, subtle salinity, and structured toasty oak notes. Its crisp acidity cuts through rich dishes yet lingers elegantly on the palate, thanks to a challenging 2020 growing season that yielded concentrated flavors and natural liveliness. The cool spring and variable summer climate resulted in smaller bunches, amplifying savory undertones while maintaining a silky texture that harmonizes seamlessly with oak influences.

Serve slightly chilled to highlight its fruit purity and floral aromas—perfect for pairing with seafood or creamy pasta dishes now or aging until 2030 for deeper complexity. At 13% alcohol by volume, it offers approachable richness without overpowering intensity.

Crafted by Giant Steps’ meticulous winemaking team, this Yarra Valley standout distinguishes itself through its precise balance of acidity and texture, making it a versatile choice for immediate enjoyment or cellar-worthy investment.
