Description

Superb expression right out of the gate, whilst it will offer much much more with time. Excellent depth and length with layer after layer of flavour. The energy of the fruit is balanced with a darkness, spiced and an intriguing sappy hint. The acidity and tannin marry well offering up a fine long structure.

Why is this Wine so Yummy?

“100% certified biodynamic, estate-grown, single-vineyard Pinot Noir from a mix of two terroirs: grey gravelly loams over clay and red loam over gravel. Fruit is handpicked and sorted by hand on a vibrating table. Matured in French oak for 8-10 months.

Our Estate Pinot Noir is always a wine that needs time to show its true colours. It is made for the long haul, with ample tannin and acidity as well as fruit density to last the distance. Densely packed layers of aroma on the nose, with a strikingly intense palate, are supported by especially vibrant and luscious fruit notes and fine tannin structure. A wine that will continue to open and grow with time in the bottle.

About Stefano Lubiana

Stefano Lubiana wines was established by Steve and Monique Lubiana in 1990. A proud fifth and sixth generation winegrowing family, Steve was inspired by his family’s background in wine to pursue his own winemaking; his father Mario grew vines and made wine in Souther Australia, and their ancestors in Italy before that.

Leaving the sultry climes of South Australia, Steve and Monique moved to Tasmania in search of a cool-climate region where they could grow and make premium wines, with a particular focuse on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. 30 years on, their Stefano Lubiana label has earned a reputation for expressive, high-quality wines cultivated from biodynamically grown vines on their Derwent River estate.

In the video below, Steve speaks to his personal passion for winegrowing and his inspirations and aspirations for the growing family estate.

In the Vineyard

Stefano Luibana are Tasmania’s first and only certified biodynamic vineyard. Steve and Monique first took the decision to use biodynamic methods in 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.”

In the Winery

As in the vineyard, the focus in the Stefano Lubiana winery is on traditional and environmentally sensitive practices. Their winemaking approach can be described as minimal intervention, with innovative use of barrels, whole-bunch fermentation and wild yeasts used to hand craft a distinctive range of wines.

“With most of our 25ha estate planted to the two great Burgundian varieties of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, it’s no secret that with meticulous vineyard craftsmanship and sympathetic and thoughtful winemaking, our wines have earned a reputation as some of most revered and desirable in Australia.

Indeed, the fact that our Pinot Noirs have won Best Biodynamic Wine in the World at the prestigious London International Wine Challenge on three separate occasions is testament to the special site of which we’re the lucky caretakers, and the expressions of purity that we’re able to offer from Tasmania to family tables around the world.”
