Great Merlot is made in the vineyard. At its best it is like a fingerprint, inextricably linking the personality and mood of the land. Yarra Valley produces distinctive, elegant, complex Merlot. On the higher, leaner soils of the Sexton property, vine roots explore deep and grapes ripen steadily, naturally checking their vigor. Fruit was sourced from Block 4 & Block 3 of the Sexton vineyard in the Yarra Valley, destemmed and crushed to small open fermenters for a warm, eight day vinification, hand plunged twice daily. The must was treated through an airpress into barrel for completion of malolactic ferments, followed by fifteen months maturation in a balance of new and seasoned French oak. Alcohol 14.0%

Bright scarlet colour. Briary fruit, hints of cocoa, dark chocolate and tar on the bouquet, cardamon and mulberries. Cocoa and sour cherries to the palate, lingering with supple fruit tannins. Ripe and even with excellent mouthfeel.

Giant Steps Harrys Monster 2010

[ More info ]

The Sexton family live in the middle of their eighty acre vineyard on the high north face of the Warramate Ranges in the dress circle of Yarra Valley. The vineyard is introducing organic practises with the express purpose of further distinguishing the site and improving grape and wine quality. In exceptional years, parcels of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot are separately fermented. The best lots are assembled into a multiple trophy winer named Harry's Monster and treated to twenty months in the finest oak.

Giant Steps Sexton Pinot Noir 2011

[ More info ]

The capriciousness of the hard to grow, early ripening Pinot Noir makes it's expression of site all the more sublime. The Yarra Valley's cool, slow ripening aspects, afford Pinot Noir the time to develop it's seductive labyrinth of aromas, showing bright red fruit notes underscored by earthy complexity. Sexton Vineyard is wonderfully intricate, exuding notes of wild blackberry, dried mushroom, mulberry bush and braised plum, cinnamon stick and sour cherry. Sexton's focused and fine tannins are enhanced by a judicious treatment of Burgundy styled oak.

Giant Steps Sexton Vineyard Chardonnay 2011

[ More info ]

The Giant Steps team pointedly sourced several conspicuous clones of Chardonnay from California, Burgundy and Champagne, to be established on the coolest, lowest slopes of the superlative Sexton property. The crisp, cool ripening conditions and flinty, almost mean soils of Yarra Valley's temperate slopes yield a quality of Chardonnay in the nectarine, citrus, melon and white peach range.

Innocent Bystander Chardonnay 2011

[ More info ]

An engaging Chardonnay by a team of winemakers and viticulturalists who eschew the bland direction and market dominance increasingly exerted by the corporate players. In a nutshell, they see themselves as innocent bystanders. An assemblage of Yarra valley harvests from the Primavera, Shaws Road and Tarraford sites, assembled around a core of splendid fruit from the peerless Sexton Vineyard.

Innocent Bystander Pink Moscato 2011 375ml

[ More info ]

Great things come in small packages. At only 375ml, tiny little Pink Moscato has become a great big phenomenon. Why? It's the very definition of fun. A true Moscato fashioned from Muscat grapes, light in alcohol, fantastically fizzed, brimming with berries and summer fruits, rose petal and turkish delights.

Innocent Bystander Pink Moscato 2012

[ More info ]

A lively cépage of Black and Gordo Muscat grown to the Boulton and Duffy, Burge, Wall and Pratt Vineyards at Swan Hill. A scrumptuous wine with an exotic mix of watermelon, musk and rose petal flavours, red apple, hubba bubba and pink ice cream. It's low in alcohol but a single bottle is unlikely to be enough because with a drink this good, there's no excuse for not sharing.

Innocent Bystander Pinot Gris 2011

[ More info ]

Great Pinot Gris can only come from fine vineyards. There are two distinctive styles in Australia, zippy and vibrant with lemon freshness and crisp acidity or the richer, textural and full bodied type. Both share an attractive mineral element that adds complexity. A new wave and the next big thing? Been around forever actually. For all you anything but chardonnay drinkers, here's a generously flavoured white, derived from red coloured grapes, crisp and refined, born and bred for food, goes great with charcouterie, fresh seafoods or highly spiced cuisine.

Innocent Bystander Pinot Noir 2011

[ More info ]

For those who like their Pinot Noir to be long, lean and savoury, with fruit to wax lyrical about. An assemblage from Port Phillip and Yarra Valley, the uncrushed grapes are wild yeast fermented and treated to a light carbonic maceration in the manner of a Beaujolais, achieving a vigorously fruit driven Pinot Noir with crisp acids and stirring aromas.

Innocent Bystander Syrah 2011

[ More info ]

Very much in the style of a Rhône Syrah, aromatic, elegantly structured and relaxed, showing white pepper and violets, blueberries and cherry over fine tannins. Just a dash of Viognier provides ethereal, almost ungraspable aromas, teasing notes of honeysuckle and turkish delight. Closely aligned to the cool peppery efforts of the northern Rhone, fruit is hand picked from choice vineyards in the Pyrenees and Yarra Valley and treated to a course of old world style whole berry ferments. Very gentle, very loved, just like the affable fellow it becomes.
