Giant Steps

Nestled in the heart of the Yarra Valley, Giant Steps has earned its reputation as one of Australia’s finest, celebrated for expressive single-vineyard Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Founded by Phil Sexton—who sought the “holy grail” of cool-climate viticulture on the steep slopes of the Warramate Ranges. The ‘cream of the crop’ single vineyard releases are here and we’re excited to share them all with you!

"Giant Steps, right now, breathes rare air. It’s been an outstanding winery for a long time, but the combination of energy and expertise, and no doubt plenty more besides, that winemaker Melanie Chester has brought since she arrived at the winery in November 2021 has frankly been breathtaking... In short, it’s a thrilling range to drink from.” – Campbell Mattinson

Under the innovative leadership of Melanie Chester, this winery has continued to push boundaries, setting new standards in quality and craftsmanship. Her approach is one of precision and purity:

"keeping the winemaking tight and transparent, so the diversity of place is what you taste."

This is your chance to experience the brilliance of the 2025 Halliday Wine Companion Winery of the Year. As always, stock is extremely limited – blink and you’ll miss out!

“A vintage shaped by hallmark Yarra elegance, the 2024 wines are defined by clarity, perfume and precision.” Melanie Chester
