The grapes are then transported to the winery and put into the cold room over night to cool down to 4 deg C before pressing the day following. Chardonnay is always whole bunch pressed either directly to barrel or pressed to tank before immediate transfer to barrel with full solids. The wine is wild fermented in French oak puncheons, 15% of which is new while the balance is seasoned. We allow the ferments to get warm, and stir ferments daily to encourage fermentation and build texture. The level of malolactic fermentation (MLF) is dependant on season. In 2024 10% of the barrels went through MLF. Post fermentation, we sulphur and then hold the barrels in a reductive environment on full lees with no stirring until blending and bottling in November.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2024 vintage is a more classic Yarra season. A cool start to spring and ideal flowering conditions lead to good fruit set and moderate yields. December was cool and mild, with significan rainfall at New Years and during the first week of January giving the vines a good drink leading into the heat of February. Mid to late February was drier and warmer than is common in the Yarra, leading to great ripening conditions with no disease pressure and a quite fast vintage. In 2024, all of our Pinot and Chardonnay was ready in quick succession, leading to a compressed harvest - with the whole valley picked in the space of 3 weeks (where it normally spreads across 6 weeks).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yarra Valley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety: \u003c\/strong\u003eChardonnay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol volume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screwcap\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.383kg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine style: \u003c\/strong\u003eWhite (Medium Bodied Oaked)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giant Steps Winery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42407717142761,"sku":"1-PER-WS-GSYVC-13.5%-750ML","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2435\/3999\/files\/PersonalisedGiantStepsYarraValleyChardonnay202412.8_750ml.jpg?v=1746530461"},{"product_id":"la-crema-sonoma-coast-chardonnay-2022-13-5-750ml","title":"La Crema Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2022 13.5% 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLa Crema Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2022 13.5% 750ml\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAROMA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMeyer lemon, Asian pear and white flowers are supported on the nose by subtle hints of oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCrisp apple, golden peach and pineapple.

Although located in a warmer subregion of the Yarra Valley, the Chardonnay at Tarraford is planted on the cooler slopes. One block, with P58, 548 and 96 clones planted on a southerly facing and tucked into the central vale of the vineyard. The other faces directly east, with lovely eastern morning aspect, which we picked last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCELLARING POTENTIAL\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eNow-8 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVINTAGE NOTES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe 2024 vintage was a more classic Yarra season. A cool start to Spring and ideal flowering conditions led to good fruit set and moderate yields. December was cool and mild, with significant rainfall at New Years and during the first week of January, giving the vines a good drink leading into the heat of February. Mid to late February was drier and warmer than is common in the Yarra, leading to great ripening conditions with no disease pressure and quite a fast vintage. In 2024, all of our Pinot and Chardonnay was ready in quick succession, leading to a compressed harvest - with the whole valley picked in the space of 3 weeks (where it normally spreads across 6 weeks). An exciting ride for our team, but ultimately giving us wines with great flavour, bright acidity and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVINIFICATION\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e100% handpicked and whole bunch pressed.

Fermentation occurs quickly, before 30% goes through malolactic conversion. The barrels consist of 20% new hogsheads and puncheons from a mixture of French Tonneliers that are well suited to Chardonnay in Orange. Each barrel is stirred every couple of weeks initially and then less frequently until the right texture is achieved, differing for each individual barrel. The barrels are then tasted separately and blended to reflect the vintage and Swinging Bridge style, ready for bottling in late December.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2024 season saw above-average temperatures before and during the growing period, peaking at 34ºC and leading to an early bud burst.
