Founded in 2001 by Phil Sexton, the winery is named after the seminal John Coltrane album, reflecting a commitment to passion, artistry, and rhythm in winemaking. Located in the heart of the Yarra Valley, about an hour's drive from Melbourne, Giant Steps has become synonymous with precision, purity, and place-specific wines. Pinot Noir \u0026amp; Chardonnay are the crown jewels. The Yarra Valley is a cool-climate paradise for these Burgundian varieties, and Giant Steps is a master of them. Their Single Vineyard Pinot Noirs are elegant, fragrant, and structured, with each vineyard offering a different profile. Their Chardonnays are contemporary Australian classics—tight, linear, and refined with crisp acidity, subtle oak, and a focus on mineral drive rather than overt richness.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"giant-steps-chardonnay-2024","title":"Giant Steps Chardonnay 2024","description":"","brand":"Giant Steps","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41995314921552,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0561\/8188\/2960\/files\/GiantStepsChardonnay2024.png?v=1770608080"},{"product_id":"giant-steps-circle-of-fifths-chardonnay-2024","title":"Giant Steps Circle of Fifths Chardonnay 2024","description":"","brand":"Giant Steps","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41995314954320,"sku":null,"price":270.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0561\/8188\/2960\/files\/GiantStepsCircleofFifthsChardonnay2024.png?v=1770607987"},{"product_id":"giant-steps-syrah-carignan-grenache-2020","title":"Giant Steps Syrah Carignan Grenache 2020","description":"","brand":"Giant Steps","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41995315052624,"sku":null,"price":240.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0561\/8188\/2960\/files\/GiantStepsSyrahCarignanGrenache2020.png?v=1770607585"},{"product_id":"giant-steps-pinot-noir-2024","title":"Giant Steps Pinot Noir 2024","description":"\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eGiant Steps Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2024 earned \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 points from James Halliday Wine Companion and 93 points from Robert Parker Wine Advocate, showcasing the brilliance of this 2025 Winery of the Year\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e.
