Producer Background:
Stefano Lubiana Wines is recognized for its dedication to sustainable viticulture and exceptional quality. The estate practices organic and biodynamic farming, emphasizing the expression of the Derwent Valley’s unique terroir in each bottle produced.
Vintage Notes:
The 2023 vintage benefitted from a warm yet balanced growing season, which allowed the Chardonnay grapes to reach optimal ripeness while maintaining their natural acidity. This combination resulted in fruit with vibrant flavour profiles and refreshing balance.

The vineyards are situated in the Derwent Valley, characterized by diverse soil types, elevations, and a cool climate ideal for Chardonnay. These conditions promote slow ripening and the development of complex flavour and aromatic profiles, showcasing the best of the varietal.
Winemaking Notes:
After hand harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed, and the juice is fermented in a combination of stainless steel tanks and seasoned oak barrels. Some batches may undergo malolactic fermentation to soften acidity and enhance creaminess. The wine is aged on its lees for several months, adding depth and texture before bottling.
Flavour Profile:
- Appearance: Bright straw yellow with green tints, indicative of its freshness.
- Nose: Aromas of citrus, green apple, and stone fruit, complemented by hints of vanilla and nutty oak from barrel aging.
- Palate: Medium-bodied and well-balanced, exhibiting flavours of ripe pear, lemon curd, and subtle toasty notes, supported by refreshing acidity leading to a clean, crisp finish.
Food Pairings:
Enjoy the Stefano Lubiana Estate Chardonnay 2023 with:
- Seafood: Pairs wonderfully with pan-seared fish, crab, or lobster dishes.
- Poultry: Excellent with roast chicken or duck, enhancing the dish's natural richness.
