{"product_id":"2025-giant-steps-circle-of-fifths-chardonnay","title":"2025 Giant Steps Circle of Fifths Chardonnay","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter a standout debut in 2024, the \"Circle of Fifths\" Chardonnay has quickly become an essential part of the Giant Steps lineup. Mel Chester’s vision here is to create a \"chord\" of flavour by blending equal parts of their five iconic single vineyards: Tarraford, Sexton, Primavera, Applejack, and Bastard Hill. It captures the diverse personality of the Yarra Valley in a way that no single site can quite manage on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 vintage benefited from a wet winter and a warm, dry summer, resulting in fruit with excellent depth and vibrant natural acidity. The winemaking is just as serious as their top-tier labels: whole-bunch pressed, wild-fermented in French oak puncheons, and aged on full lees for a year. Only 15% of the barrels went through malolactic fermentation, ensuring the wine keeps that classic Yarra zip and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 is a class act that has already snagged 96 points from Halliday Wine Companion. It's cool, complex and absolutely first class. On the palate, it’s concentrated and long, with grapefruit pith and a lemony finish that feels incredibly fresh. It’s a classy snapshot of the Yarra Valley that is drinking beautifully right now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"With its aromas of white nectarine, lemon verbena, a little cashew and attractive marine scents, this is immediately appealing. On the palate it's concentrated with grapefruit pith and lemony acidity on the long finish. A class act to drink now and over the next four to six years.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Giant Steps","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56142131331444,"sku":"jrk1789959206421","price":25.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/5613\/8100\/files\/2025-giant-steps-circle-of-fifths-chardonnay_1.png?v=1789959210","url":"https:\/\/petcameramon.shop\/products\/2025-giant-steps-circle-of-fifths-chardonnay","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
