Description
Steve and Monique Lubiana established the estate in 1990 in Granton in the south of Tasmania. They have since built a reputation as one of the vanguard of Australian winegrowers, pushing boundaries with viticulture and winemaking techniques. Their beautiful vineyard on the banks of the Derwent was Tasmania’s first to be certified biodynamic. They have refined their range, which centres upon clear, characterful expressions of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and world-class Tasmanian sparkling wines. They have continued to improve the vineyard and honed techniques in the winery, imbuing all the wines with greater texture and personality to make the most of the bright, natural acidity and transparent fruit that are the hallmark of Tasmania. Certified organic, biodynamic – Tasmania’s first.
‘The range under Stefano Lubiana’s banner is lengthy & the highlights are many. While there might be familiarity & finesse in much of Lubiana’s current collection of wines, there’s more excitement to come.’ – Mike Bennie, Gourmet Traveller WINE
From the winemaker about this wine: “Our 2021 Estate Chardonnay is fashioned in the classic, old world style. Light golden straw in colour, with serene floral notes together with, custard apple, pineapple and citrus aromas. Every mouthful is textured with rich layers of cream, toasted nuts and meal. The tannins are quite elegant. They drive and focus the length of this wine together with the fruit acidity, but they don’t assert themselves. Instead they balance the wine’s power and opulence.”
Newly released – review for 2020 … 94 points, Halliday Wine Companion “Textbook Tasmanian chardonnay that epitomises the tension and purity of a cool season in the Derwent Valley. Pitch-perfect white peach and lemon, framed in classy, toasted cashew nut French oak. A wonderfully crystalline finish of natural acid line. Give it time for oak to tuck into its pristine fruit.”
