Just as good on the beautifully concentrated mid-palate, finishing with mouthwatering acidity on the very long, pithy finish. An excellent Sexton to drink now and over the next six to eight years. 97\" - Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 vintage benefited from a wet winter and a warm, dry summer, resulting in fruit with excellent depth and vibrant natural acidity. The winemaking is just as serious as their top-tier labels: whole-bunch pressed, wild-fermented in French oak puncheons, and aged on full lees for a year. Only 15% of the barrels went through malolactic fermentation, ensuring the wine keeps that classic Yarra zip and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 is a class act that has already snagged 97 points from Halliday Wine Companion. It's cool, complex and absolutely first class. On the palate, it’s concentrated and long, with grapefruit pith and a lemony finish that feels incredibly fresh. It’s a classy snapshot of the Yarra Valley that is drinking beautifully right now.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giant Steps","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":45615430598765,"sku":"RAWGIANTSEXCH18-3177","price":90.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/files\/unnamed_36.jpg?v=1787664692","url":"https:\/\/worldwine.com.au\/products\/giant-steps-sexton-vineyard-chardonnay-2025","provider":"World Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
