2021 was a terrific vintage for both vineyard quality and quantity, a wet spring followed by a healthy amount of sunshine and some well timed rain in January, leading to large green healthy canopies. The overall temperature during the growing season was lower than average which led to a long slow ripening period and great concentration of flavours and natural acidity.
All Giant Steps fruit is 100% hand-picked. The Chardonnay grapes are chilled overnight and whole bunch pressed lightly into 500L French oak puncheons, 15% new, 85% old.
The juice then ferments on full solids with wild yeasts. 10% of the barrels went through a spontaneous malolactic fermentation. The wine stayed in barrel until October when it was racked, chilled and bottled.
"A blend of Sexton, Tarraford, Applejack, Primavera and Wombat Creek vineyards. 15% new oak (puncheons). About 10% malo. Flavour, crunch, gloss, and all up a Chardonnay of fine balance and appeal. White peach, almond, a little fennel and lime, fine acidity, flinty texture, a cool cucumber thing happening, and clean, with a well-defined finish of excellent length. Very good in 2021." 94pts, Gary Walsh, WineFront
