Stefano Lubiana

These are not Burgundies, they are not Chablis, they are not Champagnes, they are exceptional Australian Pinots, Chardonnays and Sparklings with their own personalities!

Whether the Pinot or the Chardonnay the elements that impressed were undoubtedly those that are hardest to achieve: seamless fine texture with divine acid, that perfectly from vibrant fruit of complexity. The flow and shape of these wines on palate is seriously impressive.

The cooler climate also helping achieve lower alcohols.

Stefano Lubiana wines was established by Steve and Monique Lubiana in 1990. Proud members of 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 focus 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.

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.

Stefano Lubiana Blanc de Blanc 2017

Chardonnay from Derwent Valley, Tasmania

Stefano Lubiana Blanc de Blanc 2017

Excellent, poised, balanced with low dose, a build in complexity from time on lees, citrus, great length, a fine bead. Long, vertical and delicious. Richness from time giving it great mid-palate depth. A superb example of a Blanc de Blanc.There are perhaps two key factors in making great sparkling. The first: great fruit that suits the desired style. Tassie has that covered. The second: time. Great sparkling really does require patience. Pre-tirage aging of base wines, time in bottle on lees
