Since its conception in 1997, Giants Steps has forged a reputation for making some of the Yarra Valley’s most consistently exciting wines from estate-owned vineyards.
Made from hand-picked fruit using gravity-flow winemaking, indigenous yeasts, and minimal fining and filtration; everything at Giants Steps is minimum intervention.
Fermented and aged in mostly old, 500 litre French oak barrels, this is an elegant, refined and delicate Chardonnay that is also surprisingly voluptuous. The nose shows classic Yarra characters of fresh melon and intense citrus flavours, underpinned with notes of marzipan and hazelnut. Crisp acidity ensures a refreshing, clean finish.
The Galvo Garage | d’Arenberg | Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot | McLaren Vale | Australia
Red Wine | 14.5% | Vegan

Grown on very old bush vines, d’Arenberg is one of the only estates in Australia still to use the backbreaking basket press. This gentler method of extraction extracts less of the bitter, rougher phenolics from the grapes. But that’s not all, they also foot tread all their red wines during the ferment for optimum control over extraction.
They believe the quality of the results makes these incredibly labour-intensive processes’ worthwhile. They certainly don’t make things easy for themselves…
This ‘garage wine’ pays homage to the wine produced in the back sheds or ‘garages’ of Bordeaux winemakers where small batches of the highest quality wines were traditionally made. The old corrugated d’Arenberg garage dates back to the 1920’s and to this day, houses the equipment used in the handcrafting of this wine!
This Cabernet-led Bordeaux blend is rich in plum, blackcurrant, leather, cedar and spice. A juicy yet deep and structured wine with mineral acidity and fine tannins.
