From Giant Steps' Tarraford vineyard in the cool-climate Yarra Valley, this Chardonnay is precise and refined, with bright citrus and white stone-fruit aromas, a mineral edge, and restrained oak. It offers clean acidity, a focused mid-palate, and a long, taut finish, pairing well with seafood, poultry, and light creamy dishes.
