| Wine Notes | 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 |

Stefano Lubiana
A journey spanning centuries, the Lubiana family’s winemaking legacy began in Italy in the 1800s. Steve Lubiana started his wine journey in Australia following his father Mario who originally grew grapes in South Australia. Steve and his son Marco our now a proud fifth and sixth generation winegrowing family, having established a patch of vines on the special, north-facing site in Granton, Tasmania. Steve founded his acclaimed biodynamic wine label “Stefano Lubiana” in 1990 and has since become one of the most renowned winemakers in the region. They were Tasmania’s first certified biodynamic vineyard, and have been cultivating the vines using biodynamic methods since 2010.
The wines exude Tasmania in its purest form – from its soil to your family table. Their environmentally holistic practices and care for low-cropping Derwent River estate follows through to the winery with minimal intervention meeting modern techniques. Marco Lubiana is now continuing to build the reputation of the family winery while also creating very small batches of artisinal wine under his own label.
The Stefano Lubiana Estate Chardonnay exhibits all the key attributes of the cool climate vineyards and winemaking philosophy of the Lubiana family.
