Giant Steps Circle of Fifths Chardonnay

Circle of Fifths Chardonnay is sourced from select cool-climate vineyards in Victoria’s Yarra Valley, where long growing seasons promote aromatic detail and natural acidity. Grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and gently whole-bunch pressed to preserve purity and finesse. Fermentation takes place in a combination of stainless steel and French oak, with careful lees contact to build texture and integration. The measured use of oak supports structure without overshadowing fruit, resulting in a Chardonnay defined by balance, clarity, and regional character.

Tasting Notes:
Bright and expressive, the wine opens with aromas of lemon zest, white peach, and green apple, layered with subtle notes of almond and flint. The palate is fresh yet textured, offering vibrant citrus and orchard fruit framed by lively acidity and a fine mineral core. A long, focused finish carries hints of saline and gentle spice, underscoring the wine’s precision and energy.
