2022 Stefano Lubiana Riesling Derwent Valley

The 2021 is chalky and minerally with a touch of flint as the first impression. Fragrant jasmine follows with some zesty lemon. This wine is sleek on the palate and almost transparent. It has a silky smooth texture and the dominant flavour is custard apple and cream. The finish has an elegant tension that is sh-erbetesque and tingly while the acid is naturally soft and refreshing. – Steve & Monique Lubiana

100% estate grown, single vineyard fruit grown on predominantly silty grey, gravelly loam over sandstone with some clay loam patches. 100% certified biodynamic grapes are picked by hand and then the fruit is sorted by hand on a vibrating table. Tasmania’s ultra cool climate is perfect for making Riesling wines with finesse and distinction. Winemaking at Stefano Lubiana takes full advantage of the perfectly balanced pristine fruit from the naturally cultivated vineyard. Minimal handling and whole-bunch pressing. together with the use of wild yeast fermentation in large-format Austrian oak, results in wines with the purest expression of their place.
