Winery Of The Year - Halliday Wine Companion 2025
Phil Sexton landed in the Yarra Valley in the late 90's in his search to find the perfect spot to make high quality cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Over the ensuing couple of decades, Giants Steps has firmly established itself as one of the shining lights of the Yarra Valley wine region.
Under the expert winemaking of the acclaimed Steve Flamsteed, Giant Steps have developed a stunning range of single vineyard wines that personify their individual sites.
Giant Steps' 'Yarra Valley' Chardonnay and Pinot Noir have established themselves as some of Australia's most loved wines, capturing these famous Yarra varietals in a simple, textural and affordable manner.
While firmly established as one of the Yarra Valley's leading wineries, the wines of Giant Steps continue to evolve and innovate while showcasing what the region does best. There is no better example of this than Light Dry Red 'LDR'; a delicious yet complex blend of Pinot Noir and Syrah from the Sexton and Tarraford Vineyards in the Yarra Valley.
