$418.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Bringing white peach, pear, and a smear of wild honey (plus that rarest of its type, calm acidity) into a coherent whole speaks of the winemaker’s skill and quality of the fruit with equal clarity. This is a gem; no wonder much of its wine consumed on the island.

Stefano Lubiana Estate Chardonnay is the most layered and complex of the three Chardonnays we make. A classic example of a robust but beautifully balanced cool climate wine. This wine has all the elements of a great Chardonnay. Present fruit, oak, acid, creamy texture & complexity, but no element overpowers the other. A wonderful wine to enjoy now, or watch it grow and develop over the years.

Description

Stefano Lubiana Wines exude Tasmania in its purest form – from its soil to your family table.
Our environmentally holistic practices and care for our low-cropping Derwent River estate
follows through to the winery with minimal intervention meeting modern techniques. The
resulting wines are world class quality, to be enjoyed with hearty food and good company.

Tasmania’s first and only biodynamic vineyard

We are Tasmania’s first and only certified biodynamic vineyard, and have been cultivating our vines using biodynamic methods since 2010. This means that our wines are free of all synthetic treatments, additives and pesticides. Instead we travel the alternative path, stepping back in time and using cosmic rhythms to ensure soil regenereation as well as effective vine care through all phases of the year’s seasonal cycles.

These methods enhance our attention to detail in the vineyard and winery, as we’re more alert to the signals of Mother Nature and her messengers. Every season, we’re becoming more attuned to the synergies between our varied soil types, their organisms, the local flora and fauna, and of course our vines.

While we have a strong focus on sparkling wines as well as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, we love experimenting and exploring. Don’t be surprised if you visit the cellar door to find a Blaufränkisch or Malvasia (or maybe a nip of grappa) tucked away behind the tasting bench.
