Giant Steps in the Yarra Valley, Victoria, sources fruit from several vineyards at varying elevations and degrees of coolness: Tarraford, Millers Vineyard and Sexton Vineyard. Giant Steps grapes are grown on 115 acres of rocky gravel over clay, 50 km east of Melbourne, on the north facing slopes of the Warramate ranges overlooking the Yarra Valley.
The vineyard covers two ridges that rise from 400 to 1100 feet above the valley floor. The fruit is vinified by Alison and Phil Sexton, ex Devil's Lair in Margaret River. All vineyard work is done by hand, and they aim to produce the best fruit possible.
Shiraz is also sourced from the McLaren Vale in South Australia.
This is where 'Jamie Oliver's wine man' Matt Skinner now works three days a week.
