Giant Steps Clay Ferment ‘Ocarina’ Chardonnay 2021

The Ocarina Chardonnay is a blend of fruit from the five single vineyards managed by Giant Steps across the Yarra Valley.

By marrying fruit from multiple sites across the region, the stellar winemaking team at Giant Steps has distilled a snapshot of the vintage as told through the lens of the Chardonnay grape.

The big difference between this and the single vineyard Giant Steps Chardonnays is the production. Rather than the barrel ferment and maturation that they employ on the single vineyard range, this is fermented and aged in ceramic egg.

It creates arguably the most unadultered expression of Chardonnay in the Giant Steps range. It’s a sleek, finely tuned Chardonnay that drinks beautifully from day one.
