Stefano Lubiana Riesling 2022 (6 Bottles) Derwent Valley, Tasmania

$255.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

It seems a good year for Riesling in Tasmania. Very pretty, all the citrus blossom, sugar dusted green apple and lime. Juicy, light chalky texture, sweet green apple and some tangy citrus, cool acidity well-threaded and a perfumed finish of fine length. It’s lovely now. Not wince inducing in style, and easy to like. Kind of Tassie-Germanic, as an afterthought. 94 points. Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

Stefano Lubiana Riesling is made from 100% estate grown, single vineyard fruit grown on predominantly silty grey, gravelly loam over sandstone with some clay loam patches. 100% certified biodynamic grapes are picked by hand and then the fruit is sorted by hand on a vibrating table.

Tasmania’s ultra cool climate is perfect for making Riesling wines with finesse and distinction. Winemaking at Stefano Lubiana takes full advantage of the perfectly balanced pristine fruit from the naturally cultivated vineyard. Minimal handling and whole-bunch pressing. together with the use of wild yeast fermentation in large-format Austrian oak, results in wines with the purest expression of their place.

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.
