Estate Chardonnay

Stefano Lubiana Estate Chardonnay is a single vineyard wine, handpicked from biodynamically certified estate vines in the Derwent Valley.

The fruit is influenced by the combination of grey gravelly loam and red loam soils in the vineyard, and Tasmania's long, cool growing season. Each contributes to grape flavour and acid balance.

After hand sorting on a vibrating sorting table, the grapes are typically whole bunch pressed and wild yeast fermented. The wine spends 8-10 months in new and seasoned French oak prior to bottling.

Bright straw, Stefano Lubiana Estate Chardonnay balances fruit, oak, acidity and creamy texture – no element overpowers another. Cellaring potential is five years.
