2021 Giant Steps Equate Chardonnay 750ml

Vintage Notes   The 2021 vintage proved exceptional for vineyard quality, prompting us to launch this new project. Following a wet spring and mild summer, timely January rains fostered robust canopies. The cooler-than-average growing season extended the ripening period, resulting in thick grape skins, enhanced tannin development, natural acidity, and concentrated flavors. These factors contribute to high antioxidant properties and greater aging potential.Vineyard Notes   Location: Gruyere  Planted: 1997  Elevation: 130 - 210 meters  Soil Type: Grey clay loam over granite/ironstone  Aspect: North-facing slopes
