Giant Steps Sexton Vineyard Chardonnay

Varietal: Chardonnay
Current Vintage: 2011*
Size: 750mL

Giant Steps plays it's part in the rapid accension of Australian Chardonnay back to the position it once held here. That being of the king of white varieties. This is a very stylish numbe from Phil Sexton and his team. Stonefruit, melon and butterscotch characters are supported by vanillin oak and the palate is long and textured with a clean crisp finish.

Light straw-green; the Sexton Vineyard is estate-owned, planted on the slopes of the Warramate Hills (also known as Steels Range) with a northern aspect. It is a wine of intensity and complexity, the flavours rising in steps rather like the topography of the vineyard, each sip revealing a new flavour sensation.

The Arthurs Creek Chardonnay (from Giant Steps 2010) is fruit driven and pure. The Tarraford Chardonnay is matchsticky/grapefruity and gloriously complex. This Sexton Vineyard Chardonnay is different again. Took a sip and POW - what terrific persistence. This explodes through the finish like a bullet. It's a spicy, toasty, flinty wine with lots of lemony bite and mealy complexity. It's textural too; it feels good as it slips along your tongue. I reckon it's a ripper.
