Stefano Lubiana Sparkling Brut Rosé 2017 (6 Bottles) Derwent Valley, Tasmania

$363.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

A pale-salmon colour, fine bead with good yeasty complexity and flavour. Time on lees has certainly provided a delicate but noticeable touch of savoury autolysis, too, which all adds up to some mighty fine drinking. Aromas of acacia, cherry, dried cranberry with watermelon inflection throughout. The palate has excellent layering of flavour and texture with poached quince, spiced apple, shortbread, stone fruits and tart cranberries. Long and brisk.

Stefano Lubiana Sparkling Brut Rosé is produced from 100% biodynamic, organic-certified Pinot Noir from the estate vineyard in Granton. Traditional method sparkling wine, which spent three years on lees and was disgorded with a low dosage of 4 to 5g/L.
Being 100% Pinot Noir, this wine shows floral notes and red berry characteristics, balanced by both the mouth-watering acidity and subtle tannins. The incredible structure and length are achieved by the Traditional Method wine making, that Steve Lubiana follows for all of his sparkling wines. A wonderful food wine, and luscious salmon pink hue is perfect for all celebrations. – Steve Lubiana

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.
