Giant Steps, Sexton Vineyard Chardonnay Yarra Valley 2019

95 points James Suckling
"This has a savory, crushed stone edge to the nose with fresh pastry, as well as white peaches, lemon pastry and hazelnuts with honeysuckle and citrus blossom. The palate has an alluring density that holds very long into the peach, lemon and pastry-flavored finish. A spark of zesty lemon to close. Drink or hold."

93 points Vinous
"Limpid, green-tinged yellow. Aromas of fresh, mineral-accented pear and white peach are complemented by orange zest and floral nuances that gain power with air. Sappy and incisive on the palate, offering bitter pear skin and citrus pith flavors that deepen and become sweeter on the back half. Fennel and ginger qualities emerge on the very long, subtly spicy finish, which echoes the orange note."

93 points Wine Spectator
"Grapefruit, lime and lemon flavors are intense and juicy on a sleek frame, with a thread of saline, candied citrus peel and matcha green tea. Impressive for its laserlike focus and mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2022. 4,260 cases made, 200 cases imported."

Jancis Robinson
Hand-picked Gingin clone (some small berries) grown at 130–210 m on grey clay loam over granite and ironstone next to Yarra Yering. All spontaneous fermentation in 500-litre French puncheons and whole-bunch pressed. No malo, no lees stirring. Aged for 10 months in French oak (20% new).
Tight nose suggesting complexity to come. Introvert and more burgundian than its peers tasted alongside with everything tightly reined in for the moment. The acidity tastes wholly natural and there's a little chew on the finish. This may become seriously interesting. 17/20 points."
