Giant Steps Tarraford Vineyard Chardonnay 2024

2026 JAMES HALLIDAY AUSTRALIAN CHARDONNAY CHALLENGE WINNER Planted on a cool, south-facing slope in Tarrawarra. Barrel fermented and matured in puncheons and barriques (27% new). A bright green gold. Seductive with its bouquet of fuzzy peach skins, apricot, lemon oil and a hint of fresh vanilla bean. Opulent and creamily textured, with a fine vein of acidity running through the wine that gives it both structure and length. Very long and very yum to drink now and in the short to medium term.
