Producer Background:
Stefano Lubiana Wines is renowned for its commitment to crafting high-quality, sustainable wines. Utilizing organic and biodynamic practices, the winery highlights the distinctive terroir of Tasmania, aiming to produce wines that reflect the region's natural qualities while promoting environmental stewardship.
Vintage Notes:
The 2016 vintage in Tasmania benefited from ideal growing conditions, with warm days and cool nights that allowed Chardonnay grapes to develop balanced acidity and flavour intensity. The resulting fruit showed exceptional quality, contributing to the wine's complexity.
Vineyard Notes:
The vineyards in the Derwent Valley feature a cool climate and diverse soil types, including clay and gravel, which are conducive to growing premium Chardonnay. The unique microclimates within the valley contribute to the grapes’ character, allowing for slow ripening and optimal flavour development.
Winemaking Notes:
The grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed to extract high-quality juice, followed by cool fermentation. The wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, with extended aging on lees for a minimum of 36 months, resulting in fine bubbles and enhanced complexity. It is bottled with a minimal dosage, preserving the wine's freshness and character.
Flavour Profile:
- Appearance: Pale straw with a fine, persistent bead of bubbles.
- Nose: Aromas of citrus blossoms, green apple, and lemon zest, complemented by enticing notes of toast and hazelnut from lees aging.
- Palate: Crisp and refreshing, with flavours of green apple, pear, and subtle brioche, balanced by a vivid acidity and a creamy texture, leading to a long, elegant finish.
