Giant Steps Equate Chardonnay 2021

The 2021 Giant Steps Equate Chardonnay is a testament to the cool climate and meticulous winemaking techniques of the Yarra Valley, Australia. This vintage exudes aromas of ripe peach, zesty citrus, and subtle hints of vanilla, thanks to careful barrel fermentation and aging in French oak. On the palate, flavours of juicy pineapple and creamy melon intertwine with a refreshing acidity, creating a beautifully balanced wine with a lingering finish. The 2021 growing season saw moderate temperatures and well-timed rainfall, allowing the grapes to ripen gradually and develop optimal flavour intensity while retaining vibrant acidity. Hand harvesting ensured the selection of only the finest fruit, while gentle pressing and minimal intervention in the cellar preserved the wine's purity and elegance. The result is a Chardonnay that captures the essence of its terroir, offering both complexity and finesse in every sip.
