Giant Steps Circle of Fifths Chardonnay 2024

Yarra Valley, Victoria – Australia

Launched in mid‑2025, the Circle of Fifths Chardonnay is Giant Steps’ innovative new release blending fruit from all five estate single-vineyard sites—Tarraford, Sexton, Primavera, Applejack (aka Wombat Creek), and Bastard Hill. This represents a harmonious “village-level” expression, offering a seamless ensemble of site characters crafted to convey the broader identity of Yarra Chardonnay—“Where the Single Vineyard wines are the pure tones, Circle of Fifths is the chord”

Winemaking & Vintage

  • Harvest & Pressing: Hand-picked grapes from all five vineyards, cold-soaked overnight then whole-bunch pressed directly to French oak puncheons (~15% new, the rest seasoned)

  • Fermentation & Lees: Wild yeast ferment on full lees, with early-time bâtonnage to build texture, and ~10% malolactic fermentation

  • Maturation: Aged 8–10 months on lees in a reductive environment, unfined and unfiltered, bottled in November 2024

  • Vintage Conditions: Moderately cropped due to a cool spring and rapid three-week harvest, resulting in intense acidity, vibrant fruit, and elegant precision
