Giant Steps Clay Ferment Chardonnay is an elegant Yarra Valley wine with distinctive texture from clay‑amphora fermentation.
The name Clay Ferment refers to the clay amphorae in which the wine partially ferments and matures. This rare and traditional method gives the wine its unique structure and mouthfeel.
The grapes come from higher‑altitude, cool‑climate vineyards where the long growing season produces intense yet fresh aromas. The soil is a mix of clay, sand, and volcanic deposits, giving the wine its mineral and refined profile.
The wine ferments in clay amphorae with native yeasts, adding layers of complexity and subtle spiciness. Part of the wine matures in amphorae and part in French oak barrels, which builds structure without overshadowing its natural freshness. The result is a silky, multi‑layered, and modern Chardonnay.
Works beautifully as an aperitif when you want a fresh yet deliciously creamy white wine. An excellent match for various seafood and fish dishes, such as grilled sea bass or garlic‑butter prawns. Creamy mushroom risotto, lemon chicken, or soft cheeses are also great pairings for this wine.
