A wonderful Australian Chardonnay - see previous notes here. Applejack is usually my favourite Giant Steps Vineyard for Pinot Noir but with Chardonnay there are a couple of contenders - like Sexton Vineyard and this one. Great balance of stone fruit and absorbed toasty oak. Wine shows adroit winemaking skills - somewhat “worked “ and showing creamy Lees character. Have the last one in 2027 when 10 years old. Had my last bottle on 25th September 2025. Even better than before. 95 points. Vanillin oak notes to begin with before it blew off. Rich Stonefruit notes with a nice acid cut. — a year ago
The best Pinot we have had, though at this price range, we should need to have a second choice 😳🫣🤣 — 2 months ago

Very earth and mineral driven with some decent fruit and baking spice. Great with food. — 4 months ago
A $40 a bottle, this Chardonnay, while exceptional, maybe a slight premium compared to some of the other amazing Chardonnays that we drink. It stands alone, it combines beautifully with food and while Giant Steps is one of our favourites, we still have to make a decision based on comparative taste to comparative spend. Without doing that comparative, it gets a 9, we just need to compare it for the price point to see if the nine rating stands up. — 7 months ago

I get more stone fruit and deeper flavors of caramelized peach, still a ton of flowers and tea notes, some citrus but less. Really lovely seems to be evolving nicely. — 20 days ago
