The Wine
Halliday awarded the Yarra’s Giant Steps both Winery of the Year and Best Pinot Noir in 2025. Founder Phil Sexton moved from Margaret River to the Yarra Valley in 1997 to find the perfect climate for Burgundy’s Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. A mad jazz fan, he named his estate after John Coltrane’s album, a fitting tribute to the great leap he’d made. He planted vines in six areas and makes both single vineyard and Yarra Valley wines showing off the best of the region. Long time a fan of this great estate, Mel Chester joined as winemaker in 2021. All handpicked, Yarra fruit, whole bunch pressed and wild yeast fermented in cask, this fine white was barrel aged for 9 months in 15% new oak. Creamy, complex and mineral fresh. Open early or cellar.
